Carlo Ancelotti's era at Real Madrid is about to come to an end. This Saturday, against Real Sociedad, the Italian coach will lead his final match with the white team, closing a cycle full of titles and emotions. His successor will be Xabi Alonso, who has already begun preparing for his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu after saying goodbye to Bayer Leverkusen.
Although the Basque hasn't officially confirmed his arrival, in his recent statements, he made it clear that his future is tied to an ambitious project with new challenges and major objectives, placing midfield at the top of the list.
Xabi has a clear vision: to create a world-class midfield. The Basque coach has conveyed to the board his desire to build a trio with Florian Wirtz, Jude Bellingham, and Arda Güler as key figures. Alonso believes that this combination can make history, even surpassing established pieces like Camavinga or Valverde.
Wirtz, Xabi Alonso's Request
However, the club is still evaluating the moves. While sharing the excitement for Wirtz, there is some caution regarding how his arrival could impact Güler's development, who is considered a high-potential prospect.
Simultaneously, Madrid has already secured the signings of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, while negotiating for Álvaro Carreras, operations aimed at bolstering the team for the upcoming Club World Cup. Nonetheless, Xabi's vision extends further: his ultimate goal is to shape a dominant team starting from a luxurious midfield.
