The legend returns — but this time, Xabi Alonso isn’t coming back to wear the white shirt. He’s coming to reshape the entire club.

Rumors are swirling around the Santiago Bernabéu as sources close to Real Madrid confirm that Xabi Alonso has a master plan in place to rebuild the squad from the ground up.
His conditions? Total control. A modern footballing identity. And key signings that fit his tactical vision.

At the top of his wish list: Martín Zubimendi, the midfield general Alonso sees as the heart of his future Madrid. With his eyes set on dynamic, disciplined players and a high-intensity style, Xabi wants to inject new life into a team that has lost its edge in big moments.
No more playing safe. No more second chances. Alonso’s Madrid will be fearless, fast, and ruthlessly efficient.

Insiders claim Florentino Pérez is tempted by the vision — but knows this is more than just hiring a coach. This is handing over the keys to a revolution.

The Bernabéu is ready for a new chapter. The question is: will the board have the courage to turn the page?
