Real Madrid deadline for Xabi Alonso is set as shocking "pact" revelations surface.

According to reports, Bayer Leverkusen has given manager Xabi Alonso a deadline to notify them of his plans to succeed Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid's manager, following confirmation of a "pact" with his former team. With the Italian's future in the Spanish capital now certain following the crushing Champions League loss to Arsenal, the Spaniard is most likely to take Ancelotti's place at The Bernabeu this summer.

According to reports, he might be fired right away following the Copa del Rey final on April 26 against fierce rivals Barcelona, regardless of the outcome. With six games remaining, Real Madrid is now four points behind Barcelona in the La Liga standings, but if Ancelotti stays on for the rest of the season, Real could theoretically still win both the league and the cup. However, considering his connections to the Brazil position, there is growing suspicion that he will be fired shortly, and Alonso is the clear frontrunner to succeed him.

According to Diario AS, Fernando Carro, the CEO of Bayer Leverkusen, has officially acknowledged that Alonso has an agreement with the German team that permits him to leave for any of the four teams he previously played for: Real Sociedad, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid. Carro went on to say that Leverkusen has given Alonso three to four weeks to make a final choice about his future. This supports a BILD report that Sport reported that said the 43-year-old had until May 17 to make a decision. To keep their former midfield player, Los Blancos will also need to pay €12 million in compensation.

Before the Club World Cup, which takes place from June 14 to July 13, a decision on Alonso may put unsuccessful former Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari back in the dugout. Compared to most other managers who have lately taken over the club, the Argentine's tenure as Real Madrid's senior squad manager in 2018–19 was less impressive.

At Real Madrid, Ancelotti averages 2.25 points per game, Jose Mourinho 2.43, and Zinedine Zidane 2.3 during his first stint and 2.04 during a lacklustre second. Real is in a difficult position since it may be disastrous to have a top coach in the dugout for a tournament where the champions would collect almost €110 million (£95 million).

Manchester United’s summer shake-up is well underway—and the transfer merry-go-round is spinning faster than ever. While Marcus Rashford has already sealed a surprising loan move to Barcelona, all eyes are now on another big name: Antony . The Brazilian winger's future at Old Trafford hangs in the balance, and with his European options dwindling, Saudi Arabia’s top clubs are now preparing to swoop in. Let’s break down what’s really going on, who wants Antony, why his dream return to Spain has fallen apart—and how it all fits into United’s wider transfer drama. Antony Could Be Next Out the Door at Man Utd Manchester United look set to enter the new season with a very different squad from last year. Rashford’s departure was just the beginning. Now, Antony , Jadon Sancho , Alejandro Garnacho , and Tyrell Malacia are all believed to be on the exit list. Among them, Antony has become the center of the latest transfer buzz. Although his preference was to remain in Europe, especia...

According to several journalists and commentators, Liverpool is "close" to reaching a personal terms deal to recruit Marc Guehi. However, the Reds have been cautioned that the acquisition of the England player may mean the exit of an Arne Slot favourite. Even though the Premier championship champions won the championship by a margin of ten points during Slot's first season as manager, the Dutchman is still going after the transfer market this summer.  Milos Kerkez will join Giorgi Mamardashvili (who signed a deal last summer), Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi, and Florian Wirtz as new Liverpool players after his transfer to the club was finalised and an announcement is anticipated soon. Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes are far from finished, even though they have signed five players.  It is increasingly thought that they still want two more before the market closes on Monday, September 1.  Additionally, they are still keeping an eye out for a new striker and defende...

Fabrizio Romano confirms the unexpected fresh Antony inquiry as the Manchester United outcast selects his next team.

After a surprising Serie A team approached for the services of undesired winger Antony, Manchester United's ambitions of starting a bidding war over him are gaining momentum. Fabrizio Romano has also made it clear where the Brazilian sees himself next season. The 16-time Brazil captain hardly ever gave the Manchester United supporters any proof of why Erik ten Hag had persuaded the board to pay the second-highest sum in the club's history for the winger when he went from Ajax in the summer of 2022. It was not surprising when the Red Devils let him go after he had a dismal return of 17 goal contributions (12 goals, five assists) in 96 appearances. He spent the final half of the 2024–25 season on loan at Real Betis. However, the player's confidence was greatly boosted by the move to La Liga, and Antony found a manager in Manuel Pellegrini who could bring his hidden brilliance to light.  With 14 goals in just 26 games for the Andalusian team, he helped lead Los Verdiblancos to...
