3 names in Xabi Alonso's plan for Real Madrid

After a disappointing season, with stumbles in the Champions League and Copa del Rey, Carlo Ancelotti's reign at the Bernabeu appears to be coming to an end. The 'Los Blancos' board are said to have decided to carry out a coaching revolution, with Xabi Alonso, who has impressed strongly at Bayer Leverkusen, emerging as the number one candidate.

Although no official talks have been confirmed, Real Madrid's strong interest in Xabi Alonso is undeniable. The former midfielder's agent, Iñaki Ibáñez, has denied any negotiations, but according to sources within Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has reached a secret agreement with the club: if a former team like Real Madrid comes calling, Leverkusen will not cause any obstacles. This is considered a "honorable promise" that paves the way for Alonso's return.

According to the latest revelations, Xabi Alonso has outlined an ambitious transfer plan for Real Madrid, with three key targets: Martín Zubimendi, Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah.

Real Sociedad's 26-year-old defensive midfielder Martín Zubimendi is seen as the perfect fit for a midfield lacking balance and control following the departure of Toni Kroos. With a €60 million release clause, Zubimendi promises to bring solidity and the ability to block from a distance, freeing up the attacking midfielders up front.

Florian Wirtz is on Real Madrid's radar.

Florian Wirtz - the 21-year-old talent of Bayer Leverkusen - is one of the "hot boys" of European football. Wirtz's creativity, skillful technique and sharp tactical vision have conquered Xabi Alonso.

However, the transfer fee, which is expected to be no less than 100 million euros, could be a major barrier. To recruit Wirtz, Real Madrid may have to sacrifice a current attacking star in the squad.

Jonathan Tah - Bayer Leverkusen's 1.95m tall centre-back - is a potential "trump card" in Xabi Alonso's plans. Tah has had initial contact with Barcelona, but the Catalan giants' difficult financial situation could open up an opportunity for Real Madrid.

With Tah's contract expiring soon, he could join the Bernabeu on a free transfer, a bargain that Xabi Alonso certainly wouldn't want to miss out on to bolster his defence.

With specific and promising transfer targets, Xabi Alonso is showing careful preparation for the "overhaul" of Real Madrid's force. If everything goes well, the return of "family" Xabi Alonso along with quality new recruits such as Zubimendi, Wirtz and Tah promises to bring a new look and formidable strength to "Los Blancos" in the journey to conquer noble titles next season.

Real Madrid fans are more hopeful than ever about the "magic hand" of Xabi Alonso, who is expected to write a new chapter in the club's glorious history.
