Real Madrid is heading to the Club World Cup in the United States, where everyone is waiting for Xabi Alonso's debut as the new coach. With the signings of Huijsen and Arnold, and the departures of Modric and VƔzquez, Inda revealed which players could leave BernabƩu in 2025. No, it's not all about Rodrygo, one of the most talked-about names in recent weeks.
Possible departures after the arrival of new signings
In his regular section on El Chiringuito de Jugones, Inda revealed that with Franco Mastantuono joining the coaching staff, some departures are inevitable. "Mastantuono's arrival forces a player in his position to leave," said the journalist, referring to Brahim DĆaz. Despite his contract renewal, Brahim doesn't have a guaranteed spot at Madrid, especially with the competition in his position.
Arda GĆ¼ler: loaned or sold?
One of the players who has caused the most expectations, Arda GĆ¼ler, also finds himself in an uncertain situation. Inda made it clear that the club had rejected several offers for the Turkish player, since Xabi Alonso wants to give him the opportunity to show his worth.
However, the director of OK Diario didn't rule out that GĆ¼ler could end up being loaned: "The Turkish player is the one with the most chances of being loaned." This would leave open the possibility for the young player to gain experience at another club, while still under Xabi Alonso's supervision, who has the final say on his future.
Brahim DĆaz's future and the offensive overbooking
Another name that came up was Brahim DĆaz. Despite his talent and quality, the Spanish player has struggled to find a permanent place in Madrid's starting eleven.
With the arrival of new signings and Mastantuono, Inda suggests that he could be one of the first to leave if an attractive offer comes in. Real Madrid doesn't have room for an "overbooking" of players in the same position, and Brahim could be one of those sacrificed.
Confirmed farewells and new challenges
The Club World Cup will not only be an opportunity for some players to show their level, but it will also mark the end of the era for some veterans. Luka Modric, who has already announced his farewell, and Lucas VƔzquez, who is also looking for new horizons, will leave important gaps in the squad. Added to this is Xabi Alonso's need to evaluate the less regular players, to decide whether to seek an exit for them in the next transfer window.
With MbappĆ© and VinĆcius as untouchables, Xabi Alonso will have to decide the future of players like Brahim DĆaz, Arda GĆ¼ler, and others. This Club World Cup could be the perfect stage for the coach to evaluate these footballers and determine which players truly fit into his project for the next season.
