A major transfer bombshell is about to explode in European football. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez recently addressed thoughts on appointing Xabi Alonso as head coach, admitting that the decision was not actually a mistake. According to him, the team's inability to complete a full pre-season due to the FIFA Club World Cup negatively impacted the players' physical condition.
Road to London: Alonso close to Chelsea job
Currently, Spanish tactician Xabi Alonso is very close to taking the reins at London club Chelsea . British media are already actively discussing who the coach might bring with him to Stamford Bridge from his former team.
From Madrid to London: Five stars on the list
Sports Illustrated reports that five Real Madrid members are ready to move to London following Alonso. The list includes the following players:
Fran García (left-back);
Antonio Rüdiger (center-back);
Eduardo Camavinga (central midfielder);
Arda Güler (attacking midfielder);
Gonzalo García (center-forward).
Potential future changes
Although this information has not been officially confirmed yet, the expectation of Xabi Alonso becoming the 'Blues' manager makes the situation more serious. It is highly likely that the specialist will ask the club's management for these specific players to strengthen certain positions.
If these transfers happen, Chelsea could emerge in a completely new and powerful form next season.
Do you think the arrival of Madrid stars can lead Chelsea out of their crisis?
