"AN HONOR AND RESPONSIBILITY": XABI ALONSO BREAKS SILENCE AFTER LEAVING REAL MADRID TODAY
Xabi Alonso exits Real Madrid! Read his emotional farewell statement and discover why the club promoted Álvaro Arbeloa to manager.
Xabi Alonso stepped up to the mic for the first time since leaving Real Madrid and called managing the club “an honour and a responsibility.” You could tell he felt the weight of it. He walked out of the Bernabéu on Monday, and by then, Álvaro Arbeloa—his old teammate—had already taken over, moving up from his Castilla post.
The split was official: mutual consent, they said. But honestly, it was coming. After Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah, everyone knew something had to give. Alonso looked worn down. Months of constant pressure and second-guessing had taken their toll.
The truth is, Real Madrid and Alonso never quite saw eye to eye. His tactics didn’t fit what the club wanted. He had a public falling out with Vinicius Junior, which apparently pushed Vini to refuse a contract extension. Then there was that awkward moment with Kylian Mbappé after the Super Cup—a small thing that fuelled bigger rumours about splits in the squad.
Mbappé was quick to thank Alonso on social media once the news broke. Others followed—Valverde, Rodrygo, and Arda Güler. Vinicius? He stayed silent.
Alonso kept his own response short. He waited till Tuesday, took a breath, and then posted a short message online. Just gratitude and respect, no drama.
“This professional stage is over, and it didn’t go as we would have liked. Coaching Real Madrid has been an honour and a responsibility,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I thank the club, the players and above all, the fans and Madrid fans for their trust and support. I leave with respect, gratitude, and pride that I did my best.”
Honestly, it’s wild how fast things changed for Alonso. Not that long ago, he was the hottest coach in Europe—he led Bayer Leverkusen to a perfect league season, delivered their first Bundesliga title, won the double, and nearly pulled off a historic treble. Real Madrid called him “one of the best coaches in the world” when he took over from Ancelotti last May. They gave him a three-year deal, but now, not even eight months later, he’s out of a job.
Still, this isn’t the end of his story. Real Madrid is famously impossible to please. One rough patch doesn’t erase everything he’s done.
Already, everyone’s wondering where he’ll land next. Manchester United needs a new manager this summer, and Alonso’s name is in the mix. There’s a twist, though—he’s got strong ties to Liverpool, and they might also need a new boss depending on how things go with Arne Slot. He turned Liverpool down once in 2024, which brought Slot in the first place. This time, who knows? Things might play out differently.
REAL MADRID BATTLE LIVERPOOL FOR AZ ALKMAAR'S €75M SENSATION KEES SMIT
Real Madrid are ready to hijack Liverpool's move for Kees Smit while eyeing Roma's Wesley França to replace Dani Carvajal in 2026.
Real Madrid is gearing up to spend big on a talented midfielder, Arne Slot hopes to bring to Liverpool, while also searching for a right-back who can challenge Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The club has moved into the post-Xabi Alonso era with Alvaro Arbeloa as interim manager, and no one’s sure yet who’ll take over next season. Still, Madridise working behind the scenes, planning for the summer transfer window. One name at the top of their list: Kees Smit, AZ Alkmaar’s 20-year-old midfield sensation who’s been lighting up the Eredivisie.
Back in December, we reported that Liverpool is serious about signing Smit in 2026. Slot, a long-time admirer, has followed Smit’s career from early on. But Madrid ais alreadyto make their own move, and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed this interest.
AZ aren’t backing down, either. They want a club-record fee much higher than the €25m they got for Tijjani Reijnders when he left for AC Milan last year. Romano says Smit’s future is in the hands of super-agent Jorge Mendes, and the competition is fierce.
“Jorge Mendes is in control. Real Madrid want him, and so do several Premier League clubs. It’s going to be a huge battle,” Romano said. “AZ and Smit will have a crazy summer. Forty to forty-five million euros won’t be enough. It’ll take big money to get him.”
Graeme Bailey, our insider, shared in December that AZ are already asking for more than €60m for Smit. Some in the Netherlands expect the fee to get close to the €75m Barcelona paid for De Jong back in 2019.
Switching gears, Madrid is also eyeing Roma right-back Wesley Franca. Dani Carvajal, now 34, isn’t expected to renew his contract, so Madrid needs a replacement. Alexander-Arnold hasn’t made the impact they hoped for since joining from Liverpool, so they want real competition at right-back.
Spanish reports say Madrid are ready to offer around €35m for Wesley if Carvajal leaves. Wesley joined Roma last summer and has already shown he can contribute at both ends, with three Serie A goals so far.
IT’S OVER: REAL MADRID OFFICIALLY KILL THE SUPERLEAGUE WITH A HISTORIC UEFA DEAL
The Superleague is dead. Real Madrid has struck a peace deal with UEFA, ending years of legal battles and breakaway threats.
Real Madrid has finally closed the door on the Super League. They struck a deal with UEFA to end the competition for good.
This news comes just four days after Barcelona made it official that they were out, too. For a long time, everyone kind of knew it was coming, but now it’s real. When the Super League first launched, there were 12 clubs on board. That number dropped fast. Soon, only three clubs stuck around, and for the past few years, it’s just been Real Madrid and Barcelona keeping the idea on life support.
Not long ago, in November, Florentino Perez was still out there fighting for the Super League. At the start of this season, A22 (the company organising it all) even pitched a new format with plans to kick off in August 2026. But on Wednesday afternoon, Real Madrid released a statement:
UEFA, European football clubs, and Real Madrid CF have agreed on principles they say will help European club football. They talk about sporting merit, long-term sustainability for clubs, and making things better for fans, especially with new tech. The statement also says this agreement should finally settle all those legal fights about the Super Leaguefans, once everything’s in place.
So, that’s it. The Super League is done. It’s the end of a wild, chaotic chapter in European football. Real Madrid, who really pushed the whole project, actually got some of what they wanted; they forced UEFA to think about money, bigger games, and ways to keep the top teams involved longer. But UEFA still holds the purse strings. The Super League wanted the clubs to control the cash, plus they had big plans for streaming: free-to-air games, paid subscriptions, the whole lot. Now, that’s all history.
And that massive €4.7 billion lawsuit Madrid threatened UEFA with? Looks like that’s over, too. Unlike the English clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid seem to have dodged the fines UEFA handed out in the early days. So, in the end, the Super League fades away, and European football moves on.
