Sources: Three players that Xabi Alonso wants Real Madrid to sell this summer | OneFootball

According to a recent update from Fichajes, new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has already begun to shape the squad in his image, and his first moves are nothing short of bold.

Just days into the job, the former midfielder has reportedly decided to discard three notable players, namely Fran Garcia, David Alaba and Aurelien Tchouameni.

The decision has sparked discussion across the fanbase, given that all three players have featured prominently at various points for Los Blancos.

But Alonso, who is determined to implement his style, appears ready to part ways with them as he prepares for a new era at the club.

Not in Alonso’s vision

Garcia, once seen as a long-term option at left-back, has not entirely convinced since his return to the Bernabeu.

Despite being a promising name from Real Madrid’s youth system, Alonso reportedly feels the 25-year-old does not offer the consistency or tactical fit needed for his system.

Alaba, once a pillar in defence, has battled persistent injury issues. While his leadership and versatility have been invaluable, Alonso seems unwilling to gamble on a player who has struggled to maintain full fitness.

In Tchouameni’s case, his inconsistent form last season may have played a significant role in Alonso’s thinking.

Despite his initial promise, the French midfielder failed to maintain the level expected at Madrid. With the club well-stocked in midfield, Alonso may see him as expendable in his rebuild.

For now, what is clear is that Alonso is not wasting any time. He is said to have a clear tactical vision and wants players who fully match the demands of his system.

These early exits would not only free up space in the squad but also open up room in the wage bill, essential for Real Madrid’s plans to strengthen other areas.
