Xabi Alonso will find the club in which he repotted the Decima in 2024 and inherited an already cut for excellence. Real Madrid envisages few upheavals: a central defender, with in particular the name of Dean Huijsen, and a midfielder are priority. After leaving for the Brazilian selection in June, Ancelotti will leave the team to Santiago Solari to compete in the Club World Cup, before Xabi Alonso officially took orders. Thanks to a “gentlemen pact” with Leverkusen, his arrival will be facilitated without conflict between the two clubs.
