La Liga
Decisions are already being made at the Santiago Bernabéu regarding the future. Despite the season still ongoing and chances to win titles, a profound restructuring is being planned at Real Madrid, particularly emphasizing a process of "Spanishization" both on the bench and on the field.
The figure of Carlo Ancelotti, hailed just a year ago for winning the League and Champions, seems to be losing strength within the club. Recent painful defeats, especially against Barcelona in the Super Cup final and the challenging situation against Arsenal in the Champions League, have raised doubts. And Florentino Pérez is already considering a change in direction.
Xabi Alonso on the bench:
The name gaining the most momentum is that of Xabi Alonso. The Basque coach, who is having a historic season with Bayer Leverkusen, has become the frontrunner to lead a new project with a more national DNA. His knowledge of the club, playing experience, and tactical mindset make him the ideal candidate to restore the competitive identity to the white dressing room.
Reinforcements in defense and midfield:
Regarding reinforcements, the club has clear targets. The young center-back Dean Huijsen, owned by Juventus but currently at Bournemouth, is seen as a defensive leader project. His physical ability, ball distribution, and character reminiscent of legends like Sergio Ramos. In midfield, the highly desired player is Martín Zubimendi, a versatile midfielder who could fill the gap left by Modric and Kroos.
Florentino wants a team with more commitment, more involvement, and closer cultural connections. The new Real Madrid is shaping up with Spanish talent, a change in direction aimed at reclaiming the club's winning essence.
