In a few days, the Xabi Alonso era will start in Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti will always be on the sidelines until this match against the Real Sociedad counting for the last day of Liga next weekend, then, it is the former midfielder of the club and the selection that will take over. And management is already working hard so that Alonso can have a competitive team for this 2025 World Cup.

He wants to have it in the workforce next season and he said it at the Merengue staff.

While he will celebrate his 40th anniversary in September, Modric could therefore live a fourteenth season at Real Madrid, and obviously, his future coach counts on him. Still, it remains to know the opinion of the Madrid management on this subject, but everything indicates that it will bend the wishes of Xabi Alonso…
