Fabrizio Romano is one of the most influential people in soccer journalism and always has things to share. The Italian has information about all the teams and his contacts have no limits; this has been evident in recent years. His news is usually accurate and it's uncommon for Fabrizio to drop a bomb that's not true.
Lately, Fabrizio Romano has spoken about several topics that affect Real Madrid, but this is just getting started. Xabi Alonso had in mind a great footballer who could've solved one of the squad's biggest problems. Unfortunately for the Madridists, the star in question is going to the Premier League.
Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid situation
Two years ago, Real Madrid were at the top of soccer and it seemed that there wasn't any team that could beat them. During the 24-25 season, Los Blancos have lost credibility and have ended a practically trophyless year, which hasn't pleased the board. Florentino, in an attempt to return his club to the top, has let go of Ancelotti and has given way to Xabi Alonso.
Xabi Alonso has had a good Club World Cup, but there have been some decisions that haven't pleased the fans. In addition, the Spaniard has had the bad luck of suffering important losses in defense. Los Blancos haven't managed to lift the title and the atmosphere has started to become tense; a season to forget.
It's clear that one of Real Madrid's biggest problems is defense, since they can't settle on the field and it's the weakest area of the squad. In an attempt to improve it, Xabi Alonso had thought of a LaLiga center-back, but Fabrizio Romano has made it clear. The defender already has a verbal agreement with Arsenal and it's only a matter of time before his signing becomes official.
Fabrizio Romano confirms it
According to Fabrizio Romano, Cristhian Mosquera already has an agreement with Arsenal for €15 million plus a few in variables. In this situation, Xabi Alonso will have to look for another defender he likes in the transfer market. Over the next few weeks, we'll find out what happens with Real Madrid's squad, but it's likely that there will be significant changes soon.
