Real Madrid is still preparing the future of its team and, according to the latest news, Florentino Pérez is making key decisions for the next season. Here's everything that's happening at the white club, including bomb transfers, changes on the bench, and important departures.
Change on the Bench: Ancelotti Leaves and Xabi Alonso Arrives
One of the most important moves Florentino Pérez is making is the change of coach. Carlo Ancelotti, current coach of Real Madrid, will leave the club at the end of this season. Although the Italian has had good results, the club has decided it's time for a change.
The favorite to replace him is Xabi Alonso, who has already demonstrated his quality as a coach at Real Sociedad B. His knowledge of the club and his good relationship with the players make him the main candidate to lead the team.
Important Departures: Three Players on the Way out
With Ancelotti's departure, changes in the team are also expected. Three players are on the chopping block: Lucas Vázquez, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Dani Ceballos. None of them have managed to reach the expected level, and Florentino Pérez believes it's time to make room for new reinforcements.
Lucas Vázquez: The youth player has had less prominence lately, and it seems his departure is almost certain.
Tchouaméni: The French midfielder, although promising, hasn't managed to convince Ancelotti or the fans. He's likely to seek new challenges with another team.

Ceballos: Despite showing flashes of quality, Ceballos hasn't managed to establish himself in the starting eleven. Real Madrid might let him go to free up space in the midfield.
Bomb Transfer: Trent Alexander-Arnold
Florentino Pérez has made a splash with the transfer of Trent Alexander-Arnold, the English right-back from Liverpool. The deal is closed, and the defender will be a key piece for the future of Real Madrid.
With his offensive capability and vision of the game, Alexander-Arnold will contribute a lot to the team, both in defense and attack. This transfer strengthens a position that had raised doubts for several seasons and will be a pillar in the new coach's scheme.
Alphonso Davies, the Next Target
Although the transfer of Alexander-Arnold is already secured, Florentino doesn't stop there. Real Madrid is closely following Alphonso Davies, the Canadian left-back from Bayern Munich.
However, the situation with Davies is more complicated. Bayern is pressuring the player to make a decision about his contract renewal, but Real Madrid is working quietly to convince him to change teams.
The transfer of Davies to Madrid seemed possible last summer, but his agent caused uncertainty and derailed the operation. However, Real Madrid remains optimistic and hopes the left-back chooses a change of scenery, as Kylian Mbappé did.
