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?
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.

The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
