Currently, Real Madrid has not directed its focus toward longer-term matters. All adjustments being made are revolving around the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup. The club aims to enhance the team's on-paper squad strength while activating a positive atmosphere in the dressing room. Under the dual influence of Xabi Alonso's management and the players' changed attitudes, this goal has already been achieved.
Real Madrid coach Alonso has sent a clear message: the team's door is always open. If any doubts exist, the club will handle them according to the corresponding procedures. In recent years, Real Madrid has repeatedly proven that whether in the youth academy or the first team, as long as a player does not wish to stay and a reasonable offer is presented, the club will agree to their departure. The management and technical staff expect that in the coming weeks, players from both the youth academy and the first team will leave.
Just as more signings are anticipated, Álvaro Fernández is waiting for the conclusion of the Club World Cup to finalize his transfer. However, Benfica and some of their past failed transfer deals should not be overlooked. Additionally, it is expected that Real Madrid will take more actions once they return to Spain.
Among numerous situations, Rodrygo's case is the most attention-grabbing and should be a priority for Real Madrid to resolve. This mainly involves two aspects. Previously, Rodrygo had an absolute starting role under Carlo Ancelotti, but that situation is now in doubt. Insiders at Real Madrid have revealed that the club has not received any offers for him yet.
The real thinking of Real Madrid's top management is that this is a matter for the player himself. Rodrygo must clarify any possible doubts. However, the club's hierarchy has also stated that it will be highly difficult for the Brazilian forward to secure a starting position.
Furthermore, the situation of Dani Ceballos is similar to Rodrygo's, but the Spanish midfielder has made his stance clear: his choices are only Betis or Real Madrid, with no other options.
