Real Madrid star was about to leave the team, but Xabi Alonso wants to keep him: he loves him very much.

Real Madrid is preparing for a new era, with Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti set to leave the club at the end of the season, according to Spanish reports and sources. It is widely known that President Florentino Pérez is planning to bring back former Real Madrid star and current Bayer Leverkusen coach, Xabi Alonso, in whom Pérez has great confidence.

According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central”, Alonso is considering a move to Real Madrid after his time at Leverkusen, where he has developed a strong bond with a player he highly values, even though some underestimate him: Fran García. Real Madrid had attempted to sign García when he was at Leverkusen, but the deal fell through at that time. It is now highly likely that García will leave next summer, especially with expectations that Real Madrid will sign Alphonso Davies.

However, Alonso’s potential arrival could impact the club’s plans. It remains uncertain at this point, as if Ancelotti succeeds in winning titles this season, it would make sense for him to continue until 2026, when his contract expires.

The future of Ferland Mendy and Fran García at Madrid is still unclear, but Davies will undoubtedly play a key role at left-back. After that, he will need to prove his worth with consistent performances to secure his place in the starting lineup.

Regardless of the outcome, Alonso believes in Fran García’s potential. The player enjoyed a strong season when he was given minutes under Ancelotti, while Mendy is currently experiencing a significant dip in form.

Both players will be available in 2025 and are likely to play a decisive role at any club. Real Madrid could also make a good deal if they decide to sell one of them, as both have contracts valid until 2027
