Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and head coach Xabi Alonso met after the Club World Cup. The coach of the "Cream" was very disappointed with the performance of the Spanish giants in the tournament. This was reported by Sport.es.
According to the source, during the meeting between Perez and Alonso, disagreements arose over the issue of strengthening the defensive midfielder's position. The president of the "Royal Club" is ready to allocate funds only for a world-class player, such as "Manchester City" Rodri. However, at the moment, such a transfer is problematic.
For his part, Alonso is in favor of signing Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart), Nicolo Barella (Inter) and Kees Smith (AZ Alkmaar). However, these options do not suit Perez.
Real Madrid's sporting directors continue to search for a player who can match both Alonso and Perez, but the task is difficult.
