However, not all is calm in Madrid. According to reports from Diario AS, two senior defenders—Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba—could be on their way out next summer. Both players, despite their quality and experience, have struggled with recurring injuries and are reportedly unhappy with their limited first-team opportunities. The speculation suggests that they may leave as free agents once their contracts expire.

At this stage, the rumours remain unconfirmed, with no official statement from the club or the players. Still, the potential departure of such experienced names could force Madrid’s hierarchy to further accelerate their defensive rebuild under Alonso.
