He Real Madrid has put his focus on the Club World Cup. Yes, he will try to fight the League until the end despite all the problems, but the tournament that opens next summer is marked in red by the board for months. It is not for less, because winning it would mean entering 100 million euros that, in the times, are the glory for the clubs of the club. Therefore, Florentino Pérez and his Board give him the importance he deserves And they want, when the date arrives, the beard of the bench is resolved.
With the exit of Carlo Ancelotti Agree for when the league ends, the club alerted Santiago Solari that he was prepared to take the reins of the team during the World Cup. The Argentine remains the most likely option if the march of Italian is confirmed, but this does not mean that in the noble plant they prefer Do not put an interim and that it is Xabi Alonso who advances his arrival In when Carletto Walk.
Advance, because The Tolosarra plan always went to arrive later, for the beginning of 2025-26. The Club World Cup alters the planning of all participating teams, and the same goes for technicians. For Xabi, the FIFA tournament is a double -edged sword: It can be a good start, but also a first disappointment. Without time to work the team and with players tired physically and mentally for everything that happened during the course, better if they postpone their arrival in July.
It will not be a conflict. Not much less. Xabi will not reject the opportunity to train Real Madrid for arriving a month before his position. Directing your exequipo is an opportunity that cannot be passed and you understand. That is why he rejected Liverpool and Bayern last year. It is a matter of preferences that Real Madrid understands but it will not correspond.
-Mainly, for a matter of respecting a tournament on which there are high hopes at sports and economic level and that, therefore, they deserve the presence of a fixed technician and not an interim. In the club they see it as an opportunity to save the season and further increase its prestige worldwide. Be the first to win it – as it happened with the European Cup – and thus forget the drama of the Champions or the Copa del Rey.
In any case, the different options are still on the table. The least contemplate is Raúl’salthough in natural order it should be the one who took the team with the departure of Ancelotti. This has happened when a technician has been dispensed with. Zidane or Solari himself enjoyed their first chance. In this case, The ‘7’ does not appear in the poolswaiting to decipher whether it will continue next year in Castilla or not. In Valdebebas there is a feeling that it will depart after six years in the subsidiary, although there is no official communication in this regard and, until then, with it you never know.
On the contrary, There are those who see Álvaro Arbeloa with some option. While his experience is limited to lower categories, he has demonstrated his worth with the youth and has weight valuers. If for any case solari does not assume responsibility, it is normal for the Salamancawhich will inherit Raúl’s chair when he leaves the entity. As reported, there are those who already see a tandem Xabi Alonso-Arbeloa with one in the first team and another in Castilla.
The first, Wait at the end of the Ancelotti stage. The Italian, who keeps Brazil’s road open, expects a friendly exit with the club at the right time. It will be then when you know who takes the controls of the machine. Alonso ends his season with the Bayer Leverkusen on May 17 and, since then, he would be available. While Solari awaits a call and arbeloa, a distant opportunity but does not sound crazy in Valdebebas.
