Xabi Alonso has been a standout figure in Spanish soccer. After a successful career as a player, he's now leaving his mark as a coach at Bayer Leverkusen. Recently, the former midfielder has made a key decision involving two of Spain's most powerful clubs: Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
Xabi Alonso's Return to Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso has always had a special relationship with Real Madrid. As a player, he left an indelible mark on the club, winning titles and standing out as one of the most complete midfielders.
Now, from the sidelines, his presence is seen as a potential key piece in the future of the white entity. Since he debuted as a coach, many have linked his name with Real Madrid and his success at Bayer Leverkusen has only fueled those speculations.
A Surprising Proposal
Recently, Xabi Alonso has put forward an interesting proposal involving both Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen. The deal would be a swap between young talents Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen and Arda Güler from Real Madrid. Real Madrid could sign Wirtz at a low price, while Arda Güler would develop at Leverkusen.
At just 21 years old, Florian Wirtz has established himself as one of the brightest prospects in European soccer. His technical skill, game vision, and ability to make a difference make him an ideal player for Real Madrid. The German midfielder has proven to be a key player at Bayer Leverkusen. His prominence has made many teams, including Madrid, see him as a long-term investment.
The Need for Minutes for Arda Güler
On the other hand, Arda Güler is one of the most promising young players in Turkish soccer. However, at Real Madrid, he hasn't achieved the continuity he needs to develop his potential.
A loan to Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso's guidance could be the perfect opportunity for the talented midfielder to regain confidence and continue growing in a competitive environment.
Florentino Pérez and the Trust in Xabi Alonso
Florentino Pérez has shown his trust in Xabi Alonso on several occasions. The Real Madrid president values the judgment and vision of his former player and this proposal seems to be no exception.
In fact, the possible swap with Leverkusen would fit perfectly with the club's philosophy: betting on the best young talents in world soccer.
