This is Xabi Alonso's plan to revive Real Madrid

The future of the Real Madrid bench is beginning to take shape after a season marked by stumbles in key moments. Eliminations in the Champions League against Arsenal and in the Copa del Rey against Barcelona have seriously weakened the figure of Carlo Ancelotti, who, despite his historic achievements at the club, will not continue leading the team. The board has already informed him that he is not part of the new project.

The replacement is clear: Xabi Alonso. The Basque coach, who shines at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen, is the chosen one to lead a new era at the Santiago Bernabéu. Although his representative has denied formal contacts, discussions exist, and the German club will not stand in his way, supported by a verbal agreement that respects the coach's wish if one of his former clubs calls.

Xabi Alonso's Path to Restoring Glory to Real Madrid

Xabi is not arriving empty-handed, as reported by the newspaper AS. He is clear on where to start the reconstruction of the white team. Two names stand out on his priority list: Martín Zubimendi and Florian Wirtz. The former, a midfielder from Real Sociedad, embodies the ideal profile to provide the team with control and dynamism in the midfield, a role vacant since Toni Kroos' departure. His release clause of 60 million is manageable for the club.

As for Wirtz, he is an offensive gem from Leverkusen. His signing, close to 100 million, would require a significant sale in attack, but the potential of the German justifies the effort.

In defense, Xabi also considers reinforcements. Jonathan Tah, whose contract is expiring and who knows his system perfectly, emerges as an interesting opportunity if the Huijsen option fades. Despite having a pre-agreement with Barça, everything that has happened this season with Dani Olmo and Pau Victor could bring the German center-back into the "merengue" orbit.
