Real Madrid Transfer Update – Alonso Eyes Three Departures, Vinicius Junior Commits Future
Real Madrid are gearing up for the FIFA Club World Cup, starting June 14, while also refining their squad for the upcoming season.
Alonso Plans to Offload Three Players
According to Fichajes.net, manager Xabi Alonso, who took the reins at the end of last season, has decided to part ways with three players: Aurelien Tchouameni, Fran Garcia, and David Alaba.
Alonso is shaping the team to match his tactical approach. Real Madrid have already secured the signings of Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and more arrivals are expected.
- Fran Garcia hasn’t met expectations and is now on the chopping block.
- David Alaba, often sidelined due to injuries, is not part of Alonso’s plans for next season.
- Tchouameni, once seen as Casemiro’s successor, has had an inconsistent run and is now also likely to be sold.
These moves will free up wages, allowing the club to invest in more fitting additions.
Vinicius Junior Agrees to New Contract
According to AS, Vinicius Junior has agreed to extend his contract with Real Madrid until 2030, with the new deal reportedly worth €100 million over five years.
Despite recent interest from Saudi clubs and the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid view Vinicius as a key player for the future. The official signing is expected after the Club World Cup.
Scaloni Comments on Mastantuono’s Move
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni praised young star Franco Mastantuono, whose transfer to Real Madrid from River Plate is reportedly finalized.
Calling Real Madrid “one of the best clubs in the world,” Scaloni emphasized the importance of nurturing the 17-year-old’s development carefully. Mastantuono has already scored 10 goals and provided 7 assists in 61 appearances.
