No one wants to leave the team! Real Madrid is in a transfer dilemma

Real Madrid is in a transfer dilemma: the cleaning plan is blocked, and the signing goal is difficult to achieve

On August 2, 2025, according to Spanish "Marca", Real Madrid is facing severe transfer problems - although the new coach Xavi Alonso has clearly informed many players that he is not in the future plan, no one is willing to leave the team at present, resulting in the club's personnel adjustment and signing plan in the summer window to a deadlock.

Since the summer window opened, Real Madrid has signed new players such as Heisen, Arnold, Mastantono and Carreras. However, coach Alonso still hopes to further strengthen the midfield and introduce a new player to improve the lineup structure.

But the problem is that the premise of this signing program is that some of the existing players must be sold first to free up salary space and registration places. It is reported that Real Madrid executives have formulated a lengthy list of purges, including Ferran Mendy, Alaba, Camavenga, Danny Sebalos, Rodrigo, and even Brahim Dias.

However, surprisingly, almost all the players and their agent teams on this list clearly expressed their willingness to stay. Spanish media pointed out: "All players want to continue to participate in Alonso's new project. Most stars firmly believe that Real Madrid is still the best platform for them to compete for major honors." The report also added that even if their roles in the team may be marginalized, some players are unwilling to leave the Bernabeu easily. "Unless they receive an attractive overseas offer, they would rather stay in Real Madrid as a substitute."

At present, Real Madrid's first-team lineup has exceeded 25, far exceeding Alonso's ideal streamlined scale. The huge lineup not only affects tactical deployment, but also puts pressure on finance and locker room management. When no one took the initiative to ask for it, the club's transfer operation space was severely compressed.

This means that if Real Madrid cannot push the players away in the next few weeks, the new midfielder Alonso is expected to be difficult to get in. The club is in an embarrassing situation where "what you want to buy can't get in, but what you want to give can't get out", and the prospects for the new season's lineup construction have cast a shadow.

How to break the deadlock will become a key problem that Real Madrid management must solve before the summer window is closed.
