Real Madrid on track for a 'double blow' that would affect Barcelona and Manchester City

The summer of 2025 is set to be a very hectic one at the Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid's poor start to the season has left Carlo Ancelotti on the 'tightrope' and everything indicates that the Italian is facing his last season in charge of the Merengue, as the poor results, accompanied by the team's poor performance on the field, have caused the coach's credit in the capital to run out.

In this regard, journalist Florian Plettenberg has reported that the chosen one to replace 'Carletto' in Chamartín is Xabi Alonso, who has established himself as one of the best coaches of today with his historic journey at Bayer Leverkusen. In fact, aspirins take it for granted that the San Sebastian native will leave the Bundesliga at the end of the season and head to Madrid, which would be a major blow to Manchester City's planning.

And there are doubts at the Etihad Stadium about Pep Guardiola's continuity in the team once his contract expires in 2025, and if he finally decides to leave the club, Alonso would be the board's favorite to replace him. However, the world champion with Spain would be on track to return to LaLiga, and would take with him the great star of his team.

Real Madrid would take the lead for Florian Wirtz

According to the aforementioned source, if Madrid ends up finalizing the signing of Xabi to take the reins of the team, its chances of securing the services of Florian Wirtz would increase exponentially.

The German midfielder is currently wanted by clubs such as FC Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but the more than possible arrival of Alonso at the Bernabéu would put the signing of the 21-year-old player within the reach of the Merengues, who would take the 'cat in the water' with one of the most coveted pieces of the next transfer market.
