The weight gathers behind Xabi Alonso’s Advertising Plans for Real Madrid, after his upcoming departure from Bayer Leverkusen was confirmed, with Martin Zubimendi and Jonathan Tah, despite extensive competition, selected as top goals for both players.
There was no announcement of an expected return to Bernabeu, where Alonso spent five seasons between 2009 and 2014 as players, with Carlo Ancelotti still in position and was not an official communication about his future.
But Ancelotti will leave after a disappointing season and will quickly develop into the World Cup as the new head coach of the Brazilian national team next year.
Alonso’s wish list comes from players, whom he already knows well. AS writes that his two main goals are the real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi and the central defender of Leverkusen Jonathan Tah.
It is to be hoped that the two -track attack plan will go to the failure to replace Toni Kroos after retirement last summer and lose against Manchester United to follow Leny Yoro.
This is also not the first time that reports from Spain identified the couple as the preferred signs of Alonso, with Zubimendi, Tah and Florian Wirtz at the beginning of May at the beginning of May.
Alonso is understandably aware of the strengths of Tah. The German defender was an important part of the Leverkusen side, which finally increased a first Bundesliga title last season, reached an undefeated domestic double and reached the final of the Europa League.
The 43-year-old coach also worked closely with Zubimendi, as a real sociedad B boss.
However, both players are expected to give a violent competition.
Tah, who is about to reach Free Agent Market, is strongly associated with Barcelona with Barcelona. In recent years, however, it has been a big strand of Madrid’s recruitment strategy, especially when it comes to central defenders. It was her hope to get Yoro as Free Agent in 2025 before Manchester United Lille Big Money offered.
Zubimendi is now an arsenal target with strong suggestions that the Gunners are shortly before the seal of a deal if they prepare to trigger a release clause of € 60 million. It remains to be seen whether Alonso’s sudden presence in Madrid is sufficient to break a reported oral agreement.
