Xabi Alonso's Great Transfer Rejection at Real Madrid Comes to Light 6g3755

The new era of Xabi Alonso at the helm of Real Madrid begins with strong decisions and crucial conversations within the dressing room. The Spanish coach aims to set the course from day one and has started meeting with several players, including David Alaba, whose situation is delicate. Alonso has been clear with the Austrian center: he is not part of his plans for the season.

The message has been straightforward: "If you decide to stay, you will be just another player, but you are not in the team's main plans." In this way, the coach has given the defender total freedom to seek a new destination if he wishes. This stance has been agreed upon with the club's board, which acknowledges the player's history but also understands that, following his repeated injuries and at 32 years old, it is unlikely he will reach his peak form again.

Although Alaba intends to stay and prove he can still contribute, accumulated physical complications, especially in his knee, have greatly affected his performance. The club no longer fully trusts in his recovery, and the fact that he is one of the highest earners on the team adds complexity to the situation.

Xabi Alonso, who has requested full freedom to manage his squad, aims to build a competitive group through transparency. That's why he is conducting individual meetings to share his vision with each player. Alaba's meeting has been one of the first and most significant.

According to reports from DefensaCentral, Real Madrid will not force his departure but has made it clear that he won't be a key figure in the new project. The ball is now in the player's court to decide whether to fight for a spot or start a new chapter away from the Santiago Bernabéu.
