According to FootyRoom transfer center, Alonso already joined Bayern for €10m! http://footyroom.com/transfer-center/?league=gpl

Wonderful! Now let's sell Ronaldo, and then our entire backbone will be gone! A spineless dragon attempting to defend their UCL crown will be hilarious. Merci beaucoup Perez :)

^ Kroos is the replacement I guess :/ Don't mind me saying so but he might be better!

Seriously, this is the transfer that will destroy us. Just like last time when Makelele left us :/

It's really illogical, I mean he had a contract renewal last year. He has his family here. Also apparently he's taking a 10000 *insert currency* cut to join Bayern. All this makes no sense. Why would he join them with a pay cut even though he knows he'll get lesser playtime there?

Wtf, have you ever seen Kroos defend? He is terribly slow, and not the same defender. He got ripped apart by Ronaldo, Bale, and Benzema in 2014 when he was a DM alongside Schweinsteiger. Players like Suarez, Messi, and Neymar will do the same to us if Kroos and Modric are our DM's.

@Murrderer

That's not true. At Madrid, he's earning 6.000.000 Euros per year. He will earn 10.000.000 if he joins Bayern.

Madrid lost a great defensive mid. We have to see if Illarramendi and Sami can handle the job. the current three mids kroos, James, and Modric lack the defensive quality needed in the middle.

I like Alonso but he preformed not on his usual level. He was though a very important player nevertheless. I just think the solution is going to be Illramendi or Kross or Perez is thinking of bringing a new DM which is think is the most logical thing to do going by Perez logic.

Illarramendi to replace Alonso? No way. If Perez isn't thinking about Vidal/Pogba I don't know.

Why?! I'll miss you, Captain.

It's official. We will miss you legend! Always a Madridista. <3

Very nice business between the 2 best clubs in the world. :D

@Dynastian: My bad.

Xabi said he wanted a new challenge and his motivation till today was winning La Decima. He wanted something new to keep performing at his best. He got that, I guess.

If he wanted new challenge he should have tried United..

He wanted to leave himself, indeed. he wants to go on a new adventure while he still can. Good luck Alonso.
