It is a failure that hurts, but a failure that was predictable. If the way Real Madrid took the door hurt, powerless in the face of a large arsenal, elimination did not surprise so many people in Spain. On the other side of the Pyrenees, many observers and Merengues fans already predicted a complicated end of the season for the Carlo Ancelotti team. Since the start of the season, the game offered by Madrid has been actually very average, just as the workforce seems unbalanced, creating many gaps, with a midfielder that lacks creativity, an offensive trio that does not get along and an overly friable defense.
A revolution is therefore necessary and expected for this summer. Starting with the sidelines, while Carlo Ancelotti's hours in Madrid are counted. Everything indicates that Xabi Alonso will be the next Madrid coach if he manages to free himself from his contract with Bayer Leverkusen, while the Jürgen Klopp alternative is also growing in recent hours. But it is especially in the workforce that there will be a big household.
Change in the workforce
Departures are thus to be expected, like Luka Modric, which should not be extended, just like Lucas Vazquez. Two players who are part of the furniture in Madrid and who will have to find a new fall point. Some players who have disappointed this season, such as David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavonga and even Aurelien Tchouameni, could also be sold in the event of good proposals. Offers will also arrive for players like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo Goes and Antonio Rüdiger, from Saudi Arabia in particular. What is certain, in the eyes of the press at least, is that there is a need to separate from many players to start a new era.
In terms of arrivals, Real Madrid has already secured the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will land for free after the end of his contract with Liverpool. Behind, reinforcements are claimed in all positions practically, with Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) and William Saliba (Arsenal) as the most interesting tracks for central defense. In the middle, many names have also come out, ranging from Rodri (Manchester City) to Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) via Alexis Macallister (Liverpool). No name is really out for the attack, but it is a safe bet that an attacker is recruited, especially in the event of the departure of one of the team's offensive players from the team. The name Erling Haaland is never far away …
