Xabi Alonso disillusioned

The Spanish coach dreamed of owning Rodri but was rejected by President Florentino Perez.

Alonso is desperate to own Rodri.

Real Madrid are having a busy transfer window with a number of notable new signings such as Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mastantuono and most recently Alvaro Carreras. However, coach Xabi Alonso is still not really satisfied with the current squad, especially in the midfield area, which used to be dominated by Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. The current names in the Real squad do not meet the tactical requirements of the former Bayer Leverkusen captain.

According to Cadena SER , the Spanish strategist personally proposed to recruit Rodri - Manchester City's mainstay defensive midfielder. For Xabi, Rodri is the ideal player to control the tempo of the match, possessing excellent tactical thinking and perfect physical foundation.

President Florentino Perez is determined not to spend more than 100 million euros on a deal that he considers risky and has no prospect of negotiation. This view has forced Alonso to put aside his dream of recruiting the Spanish midfielder, at least for now.

Despite his disappointment with the form and reliability of Real's midfield, Alonso knows he must wait patiently. Real Madrid will not act hastily. Barring a surprise in the market, the dream contract with Rodri remains a distant dream for the 1981-born coach.
