Real Madrid relies on a new beginning: Dean Huijsen comes and takes over Xabi Alonso!

Madrid, Spanien - Real Madrid plans extensive squad changes for the coming 2024/25 season. Coach Carlo Ancelotti will hand over his coaching position in the summer of 2024, and Xabi Alonso is traded as a likely successor. The 43-year-old has already announced that Bayer Leverkusen is leaving and is optimistic about leading the team at the FIFA Club World Cup the next month, such as yahoo sports reported.

A central part of the realignment concerns the defensive in which Real Madrid is looking for reinforcements. Trent Alexander-Arnold has already been the first new addition. Another important transfer is that of Dean Huijsen, who was hired by AFC Bournemouth. Real Madrid has successfully agreed with Bournemouth about the exit clause of 59 million euros for Huijsen, which is actually only due in 2027. Ten percent of this transfer fee goes to Juventus Turin, Huijsen's training association. This was confirmed by Laola1

Alonso and the cadre development

Xabi Alonso, who has positioned himself as a desired coach of Real Madrid, has also expressed an interest in other players. Among other things, Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen is traded as a potential newcomer. Tah's contract expires on June 30th and he can change as a free agent. His obligation could further strengthen Real Madrid's defensive strategy. In addition, big clubs such as Bayern Munich and Barcelona have also shown interest in Tah, such as Laola1 reported.

Alonso is considered a catalyst for this comprehensive change of squad, with the aim of leading the team back to old strength. The interest in new, talented players is a clear strategy to position yourself both nationally and internationally.
