The Real Madrid player whose fate will change once Xabi Alonso arrives
Real Madrid is currently a powder keg, as its elimination from the UEFA Champions League has left significant scars.
Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t want to know anything about the future, at least not publicly, something he expressed yesterday in a press conference, especially because he doesn’t want his players to lose focus and concentrate solely on Athletic Club, the team that will visit the Santiago Bernabéu stadium tonight.
However, the football world continues to talk about Xabi Alonso, who remains the leading candidate to lead Real Madrid in 2025-2026.
“For us (the rumors about Real Madrid) are nothing. We’re focused on the season ahead. We have to remember that the season isn’t over yet. We still have five league games left to play, and we need to keep that in mind. We shouldn’t talk about the future; it’s not good for us to lose focus. The topic isn’t important right now. I don’t want to talk too much about speculation, rumors, or the future. I’ve never done that with players or the team. It’s not good for proper preparation,” the Toulouse native stated yesterday.
Beyond these words, which were to be expected given what his team is playing for, the reality is that Xabi Alonso and Florentino Pérez have already spoken about the future of the Merengue squad and have even reviewed the situation of some players, such as Arda Güler.
The current Bayer Leverkusen coach believes Arda Güler is underutilized, and that status would be one of the biggest changes next season if he takes over at Real Madrid.
Something Xabi Alonso has demonstrated during his time in the dugout is that he has the ability to bring out the best in young talent, so his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium would be key for the young Ottoman, who recently spoke out about his situation.
“We’re ready to fight for all three titles until the end of the season, and that’s going to be exciting. Madrid always fights to win every game and every title. Personally, my only desire is to play in every game and help my team win every title. Madrid gave me a plan, and I still believe in it. I’m sure I’ll succeed at Madrid; I’ve even bought a house in Madrid. I work very hard and I’m always ready to play,” Arda Güler told MARCA after the latest international break.
