Florentino Pérez is one of the best presidents in soccer history and he has been proving it for many years. The Madridist has managed to secure high-quality signings during transfer windows and the fans have shown their gratitude. Determined to leave this bad year behind, the president is completely readjusting the squad.
Real Madrid are in the midst of a rebuilding phase and they can't afford to keep footballers who aren't at the same level as the rest. Madridists don't want a repeat of this year and they want immediate solutions. Florentino Pérez wanted to part ways with a player who no longer contributes anything, but his contractual situation has made it completely impossible.
Florentino Pérez and the restructuring of Real Madrid
Florentino Pérez is aware that Real Madrid need a change and he is doing everything possible to make it happen. The president has started with the dismissal of Ancelotti and the appointment of Xabi Alonso, from whom great things are expected. The coach hasn't started in the best possible way, but it is expected that he will improve by the start of the season.
Xabi Alonso hasn't had a good Club World Cup and his decisions have been questioned on more than one occasion. The Spaniard closed a historic chapter with Bayer Leverkusen, but his dream is to do the same with Real Madrid. To achieve this, the former footballer needs adjustments in the squad, but one player doesn't want to leave under any circumstances.
The Madridist footballer who hasn't managed to establish himself in the starting eleven is David Alaba, who hasn't had any luck with injuries during his time at Real Madrid. The defender is under contract until 2026 (2026), and everything suggests that no one and nothing will be able to convince him to leave. Florentino Pérez doesn't want him at the club, but it is clear that the decision he will make is conditioned.
Florentino Pérez's decision regarding David Alaba
David Alaba won't have any options at Real Madrid, but he doesn't want to leave until his contract ends. The defender isn't to Florentino Pérez's liking, but there is no way to get rid of him. The defender had offers from Saudi Arabia, but they don't convince him and he believes he still needs to be with the Madridist team.
Although we can never take anything for granted, it is likely that David Alaba will watch his teammates from the bench. Over the coming weeks, we will know more about his situation.
