Real Madrid fans are not as happy as they would have wanted to be. Yes, their club signed four brilliant players. Yes, their club also got the most exciting coach in football. However, things are not perfect.
Real Madrid still have a lot to do in this transfer market, be it new signings or some departures that just have not been happening.
There have been a few academy sales here and there, which has brought in a decent amount of money. However, the club wants more, and the fans want to see some sort of image of what the squad is going to shape up like next season.
However, a report from MARCA suggests a new problem that is emerging. No one wants to leave the club.
Real Madrid need to start selling as soon as possible
The report states that the players Real Madrid may want to see leave the club are showing no signs of doing so. Everyone wants to stay in Madrid and fight for their place.
It was earlier reported that David Alaba and Ferland Mendy are two of the names Real Madrid hope to move on from, but that does not seem like it will happen.
Now, this whole situation could be good or bad in a lot of ways, but it only involves a change of perspective.
It could be good to have these players fight for the club as that will lead to stronger competition and it will bring the best out of these players.
When players play with a chip on their shoulder, it helps them get results that weren't perceived possible. It would also be good for depth - Real Madrid play a lot of matches every year, and they will need a great group of excellent players to have in these situations.
On the other hand, it could also lead to overcrowding. There is a very realistic case of "too many players", which Real Madrid could have. It could also lead to them not being able to sign a player or two just because they do not have space for anyone.
For example, Real Madrid have five centre-backs. Adding a sixth - if they look at someone - would be tough, considering there are so many other players that they might need to sell.
It is a tough situation to be in for Alonso. It could be a good problem to have, like we all like to say with stuff like this. However, it could also be a bad problem.
