A new era will start at Real Madrid. Once the liga is finished, Carlo Ancelotti will leave his duties and go to take control of the Brazilian selection. To replace it, the management of Real Madrid will bet on Xabi Alonso. But the club's thinking heads know this, in addition to a new coach, it will also be necessary to clean up the workforce and bring new heads. Several players like Rodrygo or David Alaba, in addition to the players at the end of the contract like Lucas Vazquez and Luka Modric, could never play under the orders of the former midfielder of Casa Blanca.

The latter will necessarily want to enlist players who like him. Recently, the Spanish press spoke of the names of Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen), Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen) or Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) as players appearing on the Basque shopping-list. For the moment, there is only one certainty: Trent Alexander-Arnold will land for free, he who has already formalized his departure from Liverpool. But here it Reader Indicates that the club is close to recruiting its second recruit for next season.

Positive advances

Indeed, it smells pretty good for Dean Huijsen (20 years old), the Spanish international central defender of Bournemouth. Real Madrid has coveted it for a while, seduced by its profile, but has taken action seriously in recent days. A meeting between the Madrid management as well as the player's agents took place and the latter said to the club that the defender's wish is to join the Santiago Bernabéu. The other operations with other interested clubs have been put on stand-by, and priority is given to the Merengues.

Payment of the player's release clause, which amounts to 58 million euros, will not necessarily be a problem contrary to what had been said by certain media. Real Madrid would therefore have no problem putting this amount on the table, especially since it can be paid in three deadlines, still according to the Spanish newspaper. The objective of Madrid decision-makers is to have the player available for the Club World Cup, which starts in mid-June. Case to follow.
