After a season without titles and elimination from the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid is already working on planning the next campaign, with important changes in defense and key decisions on the bench.
One of the proper names is David Alaba, who will not continue at the white club. The defender, whose contract ends in June, will not renew and has already aroused the interest of several teams in the market.
End of cycle for Alaba at the Bernabéu
Alaba arrived in 2021 from Bayern Munich as a free agent and quickly established himself as a leader at the back. However, his prominence has decreased in the last season, which has led the club to opt for a renovation in defense.
New objectives: Konaté and Schlotterbeck
The sports management is already analyzing possible reinforcements. Among the names that are heard are Ibrahima Konaté and Nico Schlotterbeck.
The Borussia Dortmund centre-back appears to be a complicated option due to his imminent renewal, while the Liverpool player remains an open alternative, although without definitive progress.
More exits and doubts in defense
The defensive restructuring could go further. Dani Carvajal aims not to continue, while Antonio Rüdiger’s future remains up in the air.
In addition, the figure of the coach also generates internal debate after an irregular campaign in which the club has failed to meet its objectives.
Real Madrid is thus preparing a moderate but strategic renewal, with the aim of competing at the highest level again next season.
