Real Madrid are plotting a sensational double raid that would help them dominate world football for years.<\/p>\n
Real had a blockbuster summer transfer window following their acquisition of Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer.<\/p>\n
The club also drafted in Brazilian phenom Endrick, who is destined to become a superstar.<\/p>\n
And the Spanish giants are eyeing another massive signing while also looking at a new manager ahead of replacing Carlo Ancelotti, who is contracted until 2026.<\/p>\n
According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Real\u2019s \u2018preferred candidate\u2019 to succeed Ancelotti is Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n
The Bayer Leverkusen boss is also garnering attention from Manchester City, who have shown \u2018concrete interest\u2019 should Pep Guardiola leave the Etihad next summer.<\/p>\n
However, per the report, Leverkusen believe that Alonso will move to Real next summer.<\/p>\n
If the 42-year-old does indeed return to his old team, it would increase the chances of a transfer for Florian Wirtz, who is on Real\u2019s transfer wish-list.<\/p>\n

His performances in Germany have alerted a slew of Europe\u2019s elite, including Real, who could pounce if they hire Alonso.<\/p>\n
Like Wirtz, Alonso is also a wanted man following his managerial heroics at Leverkusen.<\/p>\n
He masterminded the club\u2019s league triumph last season as they went the entire league campaign without tasting defeat.<\/p>\n
Liverpool tried to lure him to Anfield to replace Jurgen Klopp but were unable to secure his signature.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard played for both Liverpool and Real during his legendary playing career, with both of his old sides showing an interest.<\/p>\n
Of course, the Reds ultimately opted for Arne Slot, but Real could land his managerial services ahead of next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
