Alonso failed to win three signings: Real Madrid encounters setbacks in signings in the second window

Real Madrid is now in the United States under the leadership of new coach Xavi Alonso. The club has indeed introduced strong players like Heysen and Alexander Arnold this summer, and the young genius Mastantono is about to join. But behind this, we see a very interesting phenomenon.

According to the report of Ass, the three key signing targets proposed to the club since Alonso took office in May have now missed Real Madrid. The first is Real Sociedad Mid-in Subi Mendy, who is basically determined to go to Arsenal; the second is Alonso's old subordinate in Leverkusen, the talented striker Wiltz, who chose to join Liverpool last week; the third is his favorite player at Leverkusen, centre-back Jonatan Ta, who freely transferred to Bayern Munich after his contract expires.

Look, none of the players from the three key positions that the head coach wants the most. This actually reflects that the new coach and the club's senior management, especially in communication with chairman Florentino Perez, may have some differences in the team building idea. What Alonso wants is probably those "functional" players who can quickly integrate into his tactical system, or players he knows very well and uses. What the club chairman may consider is more about the player's business value, brand effect and long-term contract potential. The signings that Real Madrid has completed are actually more in line with the latter idea.

So, this is a challenge for Alonso. The club gave him a strong lineup, but it did not build it exactly as he wanted. This means he can't quickly pinch the team into his ideal shape like he did at Leverkusen.

This is a process of running-in between a head coach and a wealthy club. Alonso needs more patience and also needs to show his wisdom to make good use of existing players to gradually realize his tactical concept. The operation of a wealthy family has never been an easy task.
