According to Fichajes, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has issued a warning to some key players, urging them to improve their performances.
In that regard, the outlet mentions that Rodrygo, Ferland Mendy, and Aurelien Tchouameni have been under scrutiny following the team’s recent victory over Valencia.
It must be noted that while Carlo Ancelotti expressed satisfaction with the result and the team’s second-half performance, he also acknowledged concerns about the poor first-half showing.
These concerns have been particularly directed at the aforementioned players, who have not been meeting the expectations set by the club.
Perez, alongside general manager Jose Angel Sanchez, has been closely monitoring the performances of these players.
Despite Ancelotti publicly backing them, the internal message from the club is clear: they must improve. The club’s leadership believes that these players need to step up, especially in a season where every match is critical.
Rodrygo, once seen as a future star of the team, has struggled to find consistency. His influence on the pitch has diminished, leaving fans and management concerned about his development.
Similarly, Mendy has continued to fail to impress at left back. His defensive weaknesses and lack of impact going forward have raised doubts about his future role in the team.
As for Tchouameni, the highly anticipated midfielder has not lived up to expectations. His performances have lacked the solidity and dominance that the club hoped for, further adding to the worries within the board.
Ancelotti has maintained a positive outlook on the squad, but the manager has not ruled out making significant changes in the summer if performances do not improve.
The upcoming matches could provide an opportunity for these players to redeem themselves.
However, if they continue to fall short, Perez may decide to initiate a restructuring process for the team in 2025.
