Xabi Alonso Deals Double Blow to Florentino: Potential Betrayal in the Making
Xabi Alonso leaves Real Madrid hanging and hits Florentino where it hurts the most with a double betrayal that the former Madrid player seems to be orchestrating.
One of Florentino Pérez’s recent desires is Xabi Alonso, the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, who has undeniably been one of the most exciting managers of the season. He is leading the German team to challenge Bayern Munich’s dominance in Germany.
Moreover, the Spanish coach has a distinguished history with Real Madrid, having been an integral part of the Merengues during his playing days. He enjoyed spectacular moments with the Whites, winning Champions League titles and experiencing other luxuries.
However, it seems that in the present, Real Madrid is not on the mind of the Basque coach, who is betraying Florentino in a double blow that could harm the club.
Alonso’s Betrayal As many rumors suggest, Liverpool appears to be the destination for the Spanish coach, a club with which he also has strong ties from his playing days. With Klopp’s departure, Alonso could take over a team he could mold according to his preferences.
But the decision to join Liverpool and the allure of the Premier League could also involve damaging Real Madrid with a personal whim of the coach. Alonso might attempt to lure away Uruguayan midfielder Federico Valverde, a long-time target of Klopp’s, to England.
While Real Madrid has previously rebuffed such offers, Alonso could succeed in persuading Valverde to leave for England, where his dynamic style of play would be well-received.
Valverde Not Up for Grabs The Madrid board understands Valverde’s importance to the team, and a match without him is practically synonymous with disaster. Therefore, they will seek to fend off any offers that come knocking on Valdebebas’ door once again.
