Xabi Alonso is preparing serious changes in the playing staff of Real Madrid, and the year 2026 could bring a big cut in the dressing room of the Royal Club.
According to Don Balón, Alonso plans already during the coming winter, or next summer at the latest, to terminate cooperation with as many as six footballers from the current squad.
These are players that, according to the same source, the new coach no longer sees in his long-term plans.
The list of players who should leave the Bernabéu includes David Alaba, Brahim Diaz, Antonio Rudiger, Fran Garcia, Benjamin Mendy and Andrij Lunin.
Alonso reportedly wants to refresh the team and build a team according to his own vision, with a greater focus on younger and more tactically adaptable players.
Apart from the aforementioned six, the future of Dani Carvajal, whose contract expires next summer, is also uncertain.
The club has not yet made a final decision on extending the cooperation with the experienced right back.
The situation surrounding Vinicius Junior also attracts special attention.
Negotiations on a new contract with the Brazilian winger have not yet been completed, and according to the same sources, Madrid do not rule out the possibility of his sale if no agreement is reached.
