Only makes me wonder if there could be any issues with his mentality, work rate in training etc. because he’s a very good player and it makes little sense to get rid of him unless he’s forcing his way out. He has a lot of the qualities we lack in midfield right nowTheir midfield is absolutely stacked so he’s being forced to play CB. Madrid have got rid of loads of top players - Makalele, Robben, Sneijder to name a few.
