Sports News (May 10): Revealing the time when Xabi Alonso will arrive at Real Madrid

Real Madrid reach agreement with Xabi Alonso

According to Marca, Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso to become the team's head coach. Alonso will sign a three-year contract right after the end of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Alonso took charge of Leverkusen in the 2022-23 season, when the team was just above the relegation zone. Despite the difficult situation, Alonso quickly improved the team's performance, bringing Leverkusen into the top 6 of the Bundesliga and qualifying for European competition in his first season.

Under the leadership of Xabi Alonso , Bayer Leverkusen has achieved remarkable results. In the 2023-2024 season, the team won the Bundesliga championship, also won the German Cup and reached the Europa League final.

Liverpool target Julian Alvarez

Liverpool are targeting Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, according to reports in Spain. Alvarez only joined Atletico Madrid from Manchester City for £81m last year, but the Anfield club believe the Argentine striker would be an ideal addition to manager Arne Slot's system.

Alvarez has had an impressive season in La Liga, scoring 27 goals and providing five assists in 51 games. He is one of the most exciting strikers in Europe in the 2024-2025 season. Alvarez's remarkable progress since leaving Manchester City for Atletico Madrid has shown that he is a player who can carry Liverpool's attack.

Real Madrid received good news

According to AS, Real Madrid are expected to welcome back Dani Carvajal ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup campaign. The Spanish right-back suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury last October and has been out of action ever since. Carvajal's absence has caused Real Madrid a lot of trouble, especially when Lucas Vazquez has been inconsistent this season.

Carvajal's positive recovery will bring new life to the Bernabeu. The 33-year-old defender has started light training with the ball and has participated in some fitness sessions with his teammates.

Real Betis keep Antony

Real Betis president Angel Haro has confirmed that the club will enter talks with Manchester United at the end of the season in a bid to keep hold of Antony, who has been impressing for the Andalusian side.

Antony is in extremely impressive form and continues to shine when making a great contribution to help Betis win a ticket to the Europa Conference League final against Chelsea.

Joining Real Betis on loan since January, Antony has scored 8 goals and provided 5 assists. He has consistently won the title of “Player of the Match”, becoming an indispensable pillar in the Real Betis squad.

His presence in the 2026 World Cup Committee is expected to give a big boost to the Korean players, not only in the qualifiers but also in the finals.
