💥 In a bold and unexpected move , Real Madrid have officially confirmed the release of six players from their first-team squad ahead of the summer transfer window. The announcement was made directly by head coach Xabi Alonso, who reportedly delivered the news in a closed-door meeting at Valdebebas. The decision comes after a disappointing season that saw the club fall short in both La Liga and the Champions League, prompting a major restructuring under Alonso’s leadership.

⚠️ The six players set to leave include Jesús Vallejo, Lucas Vázquez, Luka Modrić, Andriy Lunin, Ferland Mendy, and Rodrygo Goes . While some names were expected due to age or lack of playing time, Rodrygo’s inclusion has shocked fans and pundits. Despite being a regular starter and publicly expressing his desire to stay, Rodrygo has grown frustrated with his role following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the emergence of Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior.

💬 Xabi Alonso has made it clear that the club is moving in a new direction , focusing on building a younger, more dynamic squad with a clear tactical identity. Sources close to the club say Alonso was “firm but respectful” in his communication, emphasizing that the decision was based on performance, squad balance, and future planning. Florentino Perez has backed Alonso’s choices, indicating confidence in the manager’s vision for Real Madrid’s next era.

As news spreads, reactions from fans and the media have been intense , with many praising Alonso’s decision, while others mourn the departure of beloved veterans like Modrić and Vázquez. Transfer rumors are already swirling , with Premier League clubs reportedly interested in Rodrygo and Lunin. One thing is for sure: Real Madrid are entering a new chapter, and the summer ahead promises to be one of the most transformative in the club’s recent history
