Xabi Alonso Eyes Zubimendi and Wirtz for Real Madrid if He Replaces Ancelotti
Xabi Alonso is already setting his sights on two key signings if he becomes Real Madrid’s next manager, with Carlo Ancelotti expected to step down and take charge of Brazil. Currently steering Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso is seen as the top contender to lead Los Blancos this summer. And if he does, he’s reportedly keen on bringing in Martín Zubimendi and Florian Wirtz to shape his new-look squad.
Zubimendi, a reliable presence in Real Sociedad’s midfield, has long been monitored by Madrid’s scouting team. With Toni Kroos likely on his way out, the €60 million-rated Spaniard could bring the stability and control the midfield needs.
Wirtz, on the other hand, is Leverkusen’s creative engine and one of the hottest young talents in Europe. Securing the German star might cost as much as €100 million, especially with Bayern Munich also keeping a close eye on him.
Alonso’s potential arrival could mark a shift in direction at the Bernabeu—and these two names are at the heart of his plans. Would you like a social media caption or headline version of this too?
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
