Xabi Alonso: The Favorite to Replace Ancelotti at Real Madrid

Either bound for Brazilas it seems that it will happen, or towards retirement -we don’t know if permanent, but at least for a while- the fact is that Charles Ancelotti and the Real Madrid they know that this 23/24It is the last campaign that they will be united and that the Italian already has very juicy and attractive offers on his table, ones that once he separates from the white club will surely increase. But not only that, the club and the coach already know who is the favorite to replace him, something like the new Zinedine Zidane who won’t be José Mourinho.

A modern legend of the house and of Spain

As we already anticipated in Don Balónin the offices of the Santiago Bernabeu do not doubt about the perfect replacement for Carletto once this and the Madrid club separate their paths in June 2024, and that is none other than Xabi Alonso, which at that time also culminates links with Bayer Leverkusen, so the transition can be harmonious. As for the times, these are considered more than enough throughout this season, with a year in sight, for all parties to get used to the idea of ​​what Madrid will be like, at least during 2024/25.

Like ‘Zizou’

The idea with Xabi Alonso by the Concha Espina entity is twofold. What’s more, they choose him because they like his style of play, his way of managing locker rooms and his ability to carry teams. But they are also looking for a replacement that can project a profile similar to that met in his day by Zinedine Zidane, let’s remember, triple European champion and, among other things, double LaLiga champion, but above all a former white player.

‘Lucho’ can lose his Messi to Xabi; Klopp ruled out

If we broaden the focus of possible replacements for Ancelotti, surely Jürgen Klopp would be at the top of the wish list in Chamartín, however, he has wondered about his situation and for now it is settled: with a contract until 2026, the German is unapproachable, at least for a couple more seasons. Raúl y the blackboard they do not end up convincing, nor does it Jose Mourinho, whose stage left a very bad memory in the entity, so Xabi is not a certainty, it is a certainty. On the other hand, the Gipuzkoan could be the recipient of Kylian Mbappe when he is released from his contract with the PSG of Luis Enrique, so that Lucho would lose his Messi (note the analogy with the MSN he had at Barça), at the hands of Alonso. Both did not come to coincide as a Madrid player, one, and the other Barça coach.
