Xabi Alonso imposes his strict method on Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso imposed total competition at Real Madrid by breaking with the hierarchy established by Ancelotti, even sending Vinicius to the bench against Oviedo. This rotation, which has touched several executives, has shown that no player is untouchable and that meritocracy now takes precedence. Vinicius, long protected, sees his weakened position, including in the negotiation of his renewal, despite his response on the ground with a goal and a decisive pass. Xabi applies a natural management of rotations, inspired by his visit to Leverkusen, to maintain the entire workforce involved. This new context could also relaunch certain players and open the door to a departure for others.
Barça is preparing the future
FC Barcelona carefully follows Karl Etta Eyong, a young 21 -year -old Cameroonian striker in sight in Villarreal, but without precipitation for an immediate transfer. After a promising start to the season and a previous season noticed with 19 goals and 6 assists, it is considered a future option rather than immediate priority, especially with the constraints of financial fair play. His agent is very active on the market, while Villarreal seeks to extend his contract and increase his clause to secure the player. The exact clause remains uncertain, going according to the sources of 5 to 30 million euros, with Cadiz retaining 50 % of a future transfer. Barça continues to follow its performance while assessing its possibilities for the winter transfer window.
The endless Isak soap opera
Alexander Isak has not changed his mind. He is always determined from Newcastle. The Swedish striker remains firm on his wish to join Liverpool despite the efforts of the Magpies to hold him. The Reds saw their offer of € 129 million refused, Newcastle still demanding around € 176 million. President Yasir al-Rumayyan and directors Jamie Reuben and Jacobo Solis tried to convince Isak to stay and reintegrate the team, but the player wants to know nothing. The saga should last until the end of the transfer window.
