Real Madrid is eager to sign Xabi Alonso over Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian manager has also announced his departure for the Spanish giants. Every dot seems to be connected perfectly now.
However, according to recent reports, Xabi Alonso wants a key Barcelona player to sign for Real Madrid. The former Real Madrid player, before taking his managerial job, told the club’s higher authorities about a player from Barcelona that he wanted in his squad.
Carlo Ancelotti has earned his name and respect in Real Madrid over his tenure. The Italian manager has successfully won two UCL titles, two league titles, and some domestic titles with the Whites.
Despite his glorious feat and achievements,, the manager has struggled with the squad this season. Carlo’s tactics have been questioned by football fans and pundits this season many times. The manager has failed to defeat Barcelona three times this season. And has also faced humiliating defeats from Liverpool, Arsenal, and AC Milan.
Despite Carlo’s struggles this season, the manager has the utmost respect from the Madrid fans and players due to his guidance and achievements.
And according to reports, the manager has decided to leave Real Madrid to take up a managerial job with the Brazil National team, and Xabi Alonso has been decided as the perfect replacement for the Italian manager.
According to reports, Xabi Alonso’s play style is suited best for the current Real Madrid squad. And there has been constant excitement amongst the Real Madrid fans due to the appointment of the club’s former player as the new manager.

In a surprising twist, Alonso is said to be interested in signing a current Barcelona star, though the identity of the player has not yet been officially confirmed.
Spanish outlets, including Marca and Diario AS, have reported that the Basque tactician has identified the unnamed player as an ideal addition to his Real Madrid project.
