Weight meets behind Xabi Alonso hiring The plans for Real Madrid now that his imminent departure from Bayer Leverkusen has been confirmed, with Martin Zubimendi and Jonathan Tah they were distinguished as more important goals despite a large competition for both players.
There has been no announcement on an expected return to Bernabeu, where Alonso spent five seasons as a player between 2009 and 2014, with Carlo Ancelotti still in position and without official communication on his future.
But ancelotti is Set to leave After a disappointing season, quickly passing to become the new lead coach of the Brazil team in next year’s World Cup.
Alonso’s list of wishes is taken from the players he already knows well. As He writes that his two main goals are the midfielder of the Royal Society, Martin Zubimendi, and the center of Leverkusen, Jonathan Tah.
The two -pointed attack plan is expected to approach a failure by replacing Toni Kroos after his retirement last summer and losing to Manchester United in search of Leny Yoro.
This is also not the first time that the Spanish reports have identified the couple as Alonso’s favorite signings, with Another report in early May Naming Zubimendi, Tah and Florian Wirtz.
Alonso is understandably conscious of Tah’s strengths. The Ombudsman was a key component on the side of Leverkusen who finally raised a first Bundesliga title last season, completed a double undefeated domestic and reached the European League final.
The 43 -year -old coach has also worked closely with Zubimendi before, as head of the Royal Society B.
However, fierce competition is expected to be for both players.
Tah, who is about to reach the free agents market, has been Closely linked to Barcelona with cash. But taking advantage of free transfers has been an important series of the Madrid hiring strategy in recent years, especially when it comes to central centers. It had been his hope to get Yoro as a free agent by 2025, before Manchester United offered Lille Big Money.
In the meantime, Zubimendi is a target of the arsenal, with strong suggestions that the artillers are near sealing an agreement while preparing to trigger a launch clause of 60 million euros. It can be seen if the sudden presence of Alonso in Madrid is enough to break a report reported verbal agreement.
