After his approach to succeed Ancelotti at Real Madrid, Alonso’s first deal to ask Perez for is revealed: a high-cost player

Real Madrid is always in motion, and as such, rumors about its future continue to grow, a trend that will likely intensify as time goes on and players’ performances on the pitch play a key role. Recent reports now highlight Xabi Alonso, a coach admired by Florentino Perez, as a potential future replacement for Carlo Ancelotti.

Given Real Madrid’s recent string of poor results, Perez is becoming increasingly convinced that a change is necessary, and Alonso is seen as the ideal candidate to lead the team through a potential overhaul. While Ancelotti’s contract runs through June 2026, he is aware that results are what matter most at the club, and the growing speculation about his future, despite his current support, cannot be ignored.

If Alonso were to take over, it would likely impact the transfer market, particularly in regards to the potential signing of Florian Wirtz. Alonso is keen on bringing the German midfielder to Madrid, believing he could be the perfect successor to legends like Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.

The transfer for Wirtz is expected to exceed 100 million euros, a figure that Perez is not entirely thrilled with, though he recognizes the potential of the player. Meanwhile, Juni Calafat, the club’s head of scouting, remains a strong advocate for the deal.
