‘I don’t want to see him in my locker room’ He is the reason for Real Madrid Defense Crisis this season” – Real Madrid New Manager Xabi Alonso gives the order for the club to sell this Player. goodbye to Real Madrid player

In a fiery press conference that’s set the football world buzzing, new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso didn’t hold back when asked about the club’s defensive struggles this past season. In a candid moment that left the media room stunned, Alonso pointed fingers at one of the club’s senior defenders — making it clear that his time in the Spanish capital is over.

“I don’t want to see him in my locker room. He’s the reason for Real Madrid’s defensive crisis this season,” Alonso stated firmly, without mincing words.

While Alonso stopped short of naming the player directly in that exact sentence, multiple reliable sources within Valdebebas and Spanish media are reporting that the man in question is none other than Ferland Mendy.

A Shocking Goodbye for Ferland Mendy

The French left-back, who joined Real Madrid in 2019 from Lyon, has had an injury-plagued and inconsistent season, with several costly mistakes in key fixtures — including Real Madrid’s shock defeats against Atlético Madrid and Girona. His defensive positioning and failure to support the backline reportedly frustrated not just fans, but also the incoming manager, who had been analyzing the squad long before officially taking charge.

“The standards at this club are non-negotiable. When you wear this badge, you defend with your life. Anyone who can’t meet that, won’t be here,” Alonso declared.

Club Officials Ready to Listen to Offers

Reports suggest that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez and the board have already begun fielding offers for Mendy, with clubs from the Premier League and Serie A showing initial interest. It’s understood that Alonso has given his full backing for a sale, prioritizing a new, reliable left-back in the summer transfer window.

Sources inside the club revealed that Mendy’s exit has been on the cards for weeks, but Alonso’s explosive press conference statement was the final confirmation of his Real Madrid future.

Who Could Replace Him?

Names like Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutiérrez, and even Girona’s Arnau Martínez have been linked as potential replacements. Xabi Alonso, known for his tactical discipline and organized defenses during his time at Bayer Leverkusen, is keen to rebuild Madrid’s backline into one of Europe’s best.

“We’ll bring in players who bleed for this club. Real Madrid will defend as champions again,” Alonso promised.

End of an Era for Mendy

After 5 seasons, multiple La Liga and Champions League titles, Mendy’s time at Real Madrid appears to be up. What started as a promising chapter will now end in a bitter departure.

Expect official confirmation from the club in the coming weeks.
