Real Madrid has found its best version after three matches played in the Club World Cup. Xabi Alonso has gotten to work since his arrival to try to implement his playing style and achieve victories. So far, the balance is positive, with two wins and one draw, and they are qualified for the round of 16 of the competition.
Beyond the results, Xabi Alonso believes this World Cup is an opportunity to "move processes forward" upon his arrival at Madrid. He is seeing what each of the footballers in the squad can offer him, including those he has drafted from Castilla. Ultimately, he is working on two objectives that, so far, he is carrying out positively.
An exit at Real Madrid
Unlike Ancelotti, the Basque coach does trust the youth ranks of Real Madrid, precisely where he began his coaching career. This is something that has been shown with the minutes he has given to Gonzalo, who has started all three matches, taking advantage of the space left by Mbappé.
Despite this, not all the academy players fit in. This can be seen with center-back Diego Aguado, who so far hasn't managed to make his debut in the World Cup. Although Xabi Alonso is happy with him, he has many players ahead of him and it is difficult for him to have opportunities with the first team.
In fact, Diego Aguado is in the competition at the Basque's express request, but he has a great offer to leave. Specifically, Borussia Dortmund wants him, and, as Defensa Central has discovered, right now he is expected to leave. Xabi has him behind others like Jacobo or Joan Martínez, making it difficult for him to get minutes.
Six million for Diego Aguado
Madrid-Barcelona is in a position to confirm that Borussia Dortmund's offer reaches €6 million for Diego. He is a defender who is only 18 years old and is highly regarded in Germany, and he could head to Signal Iduna Park in the coming weeks.
What Real Madrid is clear about with Diego Aguado is that it doesn't want to lose control over him, wishing to keep 50% of his future sale and the option to buy him back. These are the red lines set by Florentino Pérez, who knows the academy player is open to leaving due to the lack of opportunities.
As of today, nothing is finalized, but Xabi has approved this exit and Diego Aguado is getting closer to Dortmund.
