Real Madrid stayed on course. Despite rumors about the arrival of a number 9 to replace Karim Benzema and the strong comeback of the Kylian Mbappé rumor, the Merengues have gone to the end of their ideas. They had announced that they would not recruit for this position this summer and they kept their word. In a year, it will certainly be something else. Florentino Pérez and his teams will have to decide on the future great striker.
The vagueness reigns around Ancelotti and Brazil
They will also have to make a decision regarding the coach. Indeed, Carlo Ancelotti will reach the end of his lease in June 2024. Last season, the Mister was quite criticized by the Spanish press. The media even announced that he was threatened and that he would no longer be on the Madrid bench in the summer of 2023. They also mentioned several leads, in particular those leading to Zinedine Zidane (free), José Mourinho, Xabi Alonso, Raul and many more.
At the same time, the former coach of AC Milan was announced with insistence on the side of Brazil, which was looking for a new coach. Finally, Ancelotti stayed in Madrid where he wants to go to the end of his contract, or even more. He never hid that he would stay with pleasure. This, despite the fact that the president of the CBF (Brazilian federation), Ednaldo Rodriguez, announced on July 5 that he would arrive in 2024.
The Mister is ready to stay, Zidane is not the priority in case of departure
“Diniz has a style of play similar to the coach who will take charge from the Copa América, Carlo Ancelotti. They have almost the same style of play., he explained. But quickly, Ancelotti did not confirm this information while ensuring that he was focused on Real Madrid. A difficult situation to manage for the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium, who wanted to be sure that the Italian would be fully with them this season. And it is obviously the case. Ancelotti is invested and ready to fight all the battles.
And today, El Chiringuito reveals some rather surprising news. Contrary to what has been announced in recent months regarding his successors and his role as Brazil coach, he could finally extend to Madrid. Indeed, the journalists of the famous show indicated that Carletto had not signed anything with the Seleção. Moreover, it’s not impossible that he stays at Madrid. If an extension is offered to him, which is not impossible; he will accept it. A hell of a surprise. In the event of departure, however, Xabi Alonso is the priority of the Merengues, ahead of Raul (courted by Villarreal) and Alvaro Arbeloa. No Zinedine Zidane then. A little surprise since it has often been announced that it will be back soon.
