In Madrid, there is no more suspense. While the negotiations between Carlo Ancelotti and Brazil experienced twists and turns, the Madrid press was unanimous yesterday to affirm that the departure of the Italian coach will be announced after the Clasico on Saturday. To replace it, again, there is no more mystery. Casa Blanca set its sights on Xabi Alonso. The only stranger hovering over Valdebebas is what coach will be at the helm during the Club World Cup in the United States.
In the meantime, Xabi Alonso seems very involved in the Mercato Merengue. The future strong man of Real Madrid will undoubtedly have to deal with the financial requirements of the emblematic Madrid president, but we cannot blame him for being a force for proposals. As a reminder, local media has announced for weeks that the former midfielder has blown up the names of the Martin Zubimendi and Florian Wirtz circles.
A competitor of weight for Mbappé and Endrick?
Recently, two other new names came out of the hat, namely those of his two protégés: defenders Jonathan Tah and Piero Hincapié. For the moment, only Wirtz seems to escape him since we have revealed to you that the German has an agreement with Bayern Munich. Waiting for, Telemadrid We learn that Alonso has also asked for a new number for this summer! A request that will not surprise anyone since this season, since the departure of Joselu, Madrid had to deal with Kylian Mbappé as the only weight solution in the center-forward post.
Three names are cited, namely the serial scorer Viktor Gyökeres and, once again, two of his protégés: Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick. The Sporting Portugal player is no longer to present. Leader in the ranking of European top scorers, he will leave the Le responsi this summer in exchange for a check between € 70 million and € 100 million. For his part, Schik signs a great season with Bayer Leverkusen (25 goals in 43 games). As for Boniface, it points to 11 goals in 27 games and has the advantage of being able to evolve on one side. It remains to be seen how Real Madrid would manage the arrival of an attacker of choice who should deal with the competition from Kylian Mbappé and Endrick.
