Real Madrid buys first player under coach Xabi Alonso: Unexpected name

Real Madrid force Barcelona to wait for La Liga title

In parallel with the preparations to add squad to the FIFA Club World Cup under new coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid played the remaining matches in La Liga with a very slim hope of holding on to the championship opportunity.

Real Madrid just came from behind to beat Mallorca 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Mbappe and young player Jacobo Ramon in the 68th and 90+5th minutes on May 15, after letting their opponents take the lead in the 11th minute thanks to Valjent.

For Mbappe, the goal he just scored helps him have a total of 40 goals in his first season at Real Madrid, setting a record and far surpassing the previous achievement of famous player Ronaldo, who scored 33 goals in his first season with this team.

The win also helps Real Madrid hold on to hope in the remaining two rounds, but if Barcelona beats Espanyol at 2:30 a.m. on May 16, everything will end.

Coach Ancelotti will work at Real Madrid until May 25, hoping that all the surprises will happen in football so that Real Madrid has a chance to win La Liga. However, he also admitted that the situation is almost settled. After the season ends, he will lead the Brazilian team.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are preparing for a new chapter with the arrival of coach Xabi Alonso, who is awaiting an official announcement. The coach has already asked the Bernabeu club to add a new centre-back, with Dean Huijsen in his sights as he aims to play in a 3-4-3 formation from next season.

"Dean Huijsen prioritizes joining Real Madrid, despite the interest of many Premier League clubs. This is the primary reason why Bournemouth quickly agreed to all offers from Real Madrid, including the £50 million contract termination value and personal terms with the player. This deal has been completed, but will wait until early next week to officially finalize with a meeting of the two clubs," said Fabrizio Romano.

Along with Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid will also have defender Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool on a free transfer. Real Madrid are asking Liverpool to release this player before the deadline (June 30) so that he and the team can participate in the FIFA Club World Cup, but may have to pay a small amount of money to make up for the remaining time (about 1 million pounds).

Premier League giants compete to buy new stars

Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea were among the clubs who missed out on signing talented centre-back Dean Huijsen when he opted for Real Madrid. Liverpool are currently in talks to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold. The fee for Jeremie Frimpong is currently valued at around £29.5m and the player is keen on joining Liverpool.

Liverpool are also interested in another Bournemouth defender, with left-back Milos Kerkez in their sights. Arne Slot's side have also confirmed they will part ways with striker Darwin Nunez, and are interested in signing replacements including Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike.

Meanwhile, Man City are likely to snatch Bayern Munich's signature to sign the excellent attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, also from Bayer Leverkusen.

"Wirtz's parents had a brief meeting in Manchester on May 14 with Man City officials, as they assessed their son's options. Man City could beat Bayern Munich to the player to replace Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva could leave," said journalist Ben Jacobs, also a transfer news expert.

Manchester United have also lined up two top players, striker Liam Delap from relegated Ipswich and Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton, with a combined fee of £100m. But that is on condition that Manchester United win the Europa League to qualify for next season's Champions League.
