PSG and Real at war for Xabi Alonso

Officially, there is no question for PSG of questioning Luis Enrique. However, rumors about his succession are rife and the latest reports Parisian interest in Xabi Alonso.

The results obtained by Saint-Germain this season in the Champions League are disappointing. Far from expectations, the Parisian club is 25th in the regular season phase with three days remaining. In the event of elimination, Luis Enrique will obviously be held primarily responsible for this failure and it will be difficult for the PSG management to defend the Catalan coach even if officially, the 54-year-old coach is not at all threatened and is not at all threatened. will not be more so if Paris takes the door in C1. However, rumors are multiplying in the foreign press about his potential succession. The name of Zinedine Zidane was, for example, mentioned and now, The National tells us that Paris Saint-Germain is attentive to the situation of Xabi Alonso.

The Spanish coach is currently playing his third season at Bayer Leverkusen and his departure at the end of the season no longer raises many doubts within the German club. His destination, however, is a mystery and according to the Spanish media, two clubs hold the rope, namely Paris SG but also Real Madrid. The two European leaders would be fighting to try to convince the former Liverpool midfielder, for whom the Reds' path has however closed given the perfect start to the season by Arne Slot, who has succeeded wonderfully the challenge of succession to Jürgen Klopp.

Xabi Alonso followed by Real and PSG

“Xabi Alonso appears to be the main candidate to replace Luis Enrique at PSG if the situation does not improve” write our colleagues at El Nacional before concluding. “However, it will not be easy to convince the Basque coach since Real Madrid also have him on their list of priorities and see him as the natural successor to Carlo Ancelotti”. Suffice to say that the duel promises to be fierce between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain to obtain the agreement of the former Casa Blanca midfielder. In either case, it is very difficult to imagine Xabi Alonso slamming the door of Bayer Leverkusen during the season. These two interests therefore mainly aim to prepare for next year.
