The icon of Real Madrid informs Florentino Pérez that he is leaving: non-negotiable

2024 may bring many changes to Real Madrid . Despite the fact that the white team has been able to add up good results in this first part of the season, the sports project will have to solve several unknowns over the coming months. The most urgent of them, the reference to the benches, both of the first team and, above all, of Castilla, since Carlo Ancelotti and Raúl González Blanco are a foot and a half away from the merengue entity.

While Carlo Ancelotti seems to accept the offer that has been on the table for the Brazilian team for many months (although there could be a turn of events if the official announcement does not happen soon), Raúl González Blanco , according to the Madrid-Barcelona digital portal , he would have already communicated to Florentino Pérez his desire not to continue at Real Madrid next season, putting an end to his time as white coach.

It is true that in recent weeks the former Real Madrid player has rejected offers from Union Berlin and Villarreal , two teams that compete in European competitions, to wait for the opportunity to train in the first team, but it seems that the the Madrid coach’s patience has run out, to the point of wanting to make the move to a team of the highest elite during the next campaign, far from the club of his life, where he has won everything as a player.

Raúl’s results at Real Madrid Castilla as a coach have been remarkable. Although he has not been able to achieve the long-awaited promotion to the Second Division , he has had successful seasons. The best of them, the previous one, when he was able to reach the final of the promotion play-off, eliminating Rafa Márquez ‘s Barça Atlètic along the way . However, despite this, Florentino Pérez does not fully trust him for the first team by not seeing him ready.

Before this departure, Real Madrid already has in mind who should be Raúl’s replacement at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium . This is Álvaro Arbeloa , another white ex-footballer, who knows La Fabrica well , as he has been managing the Juvenil A since the previous season, in addition to having trained other teams in the lower categories. In this way, the future of Castilla seems to be defined, pending what happens with the bench of the first team, which remains a total unknown.
