Florentino Pérez Plans Major Shake-Up at Real Madrid Following Cup Final Defeat
Following one of the most painful losses in Real Madrid’s history — a dramatic 3-2 defeat to arch-rivals Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final — President Florentino Pérez has chosen to make sweeping changes at the club. The high-stakes match exposed serious flaws in Carlo Ancelotti’s team, further complicating an already disappointing season that has seen Real Madrid fall out of contention in both La Liga and the Champions League.
Unwilling to settle for just parting ways with head coach Carlo Ancelotti, Pérez is preparing to initiate a historic overhaul of the squad. According to sources within the club, six players — Lucas Vázquez, Ferland Mendy, David Alaba, Luka Modrić, Brahim Díaz, and Ferrán García — are set to be offloaded during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Pérez, known for his decisive leadership, reportedly stated after the defeat: “Real Madrid cannot continue with these players. The decision is final.” He is open to accepting transfer offers for the six, even if they fall below market value, signaling a determined effort to reset the team.
With this bold move, Pérez aims to rebuild the squad from the ground up and restore Real Madrid’s status as a powerhouse in European football. The upcoming transfer window is shaping up to be a transformative period for the club, as they seek new talent and a fresh start.
