"Real Madrid are to let a major star leave on a free transfer, as Xabi Alonso's revolution at the Bernabeu continues. Los Blancos are top of La Liga at this early stage of the season, having won all three of their league fixtures, as their new Basque boss puts his imprint on this side with plenty of surprises and rotation."
"It was a fairly low-key summer in Valdebebas with just four major signings in Alexander-Arnold, Alvaro Carreras, Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono. High-profile Galacticos such as Rodrygo and Eduardo Camavinga stayed, despite rumours but despite adding three defenders recently, Real are said to still be looking to revamp their backline, with Premier League stars Ibrahima Konate and William Saliba high on the priority list, with their futures still uncertain at their respective clubs."
"The versatile Austrian signed for the 15-time European champions on a free from Bayern Munich in 2021, but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in December 2023 that ruled him for 13 months of action, which included Euro 2024. At the age of 33, it's hardly a surprise that the Vienna-born defender is no longer considered part of the long-term plans at the Bernabeu."
Real Madrid are reshaping their squad under new coach Xabi Alonso, rotating players as he searches for his best XI. The team leads La Liga after three wins, with rotation affecting Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Trent Alexander-Arnold. The club made four signings in the summer but continues to target defensive reinforcements such as Ibrahima Konate and William Saliba. David Alaba is confirmed to depart on a free transfer next summer after joining in 2021 and suffering an ACL injury in December 2023. At 33, Alaba is no longer considered part of long-term plans despite his dressing-room influence.
