KYLIAN MBAPPE BREAKS SILENCE: REAL MADRID STARS REACT TO XABI ALONSO’S BRUTAL SACKING
Real Madrid sack Xabi Alonso after just seven months! As Arbeloa takes over, Mbappé and Güler lead emotional player tributes.
Real Madrid shook the football world when they let Xabi Alonso go just two weeks into the new year. People saw the pressure building on Alonso ever since Real slipped behind Barcelona in La Liga. Losses to Liverpool and Manchester City in the Champions League didn’t help his case, and the Super Cup flop basically sealed his fate.
The club pulled the plug on Alonso after only seven months, even though everyone expected him to last at least three years at the Bernabéu. Now his contract’s done, and Castilla boss Álvaro Arbeloa is stepping up to take charge.
News of the change spread like wildfire online. Fans reacted first, and then the players started to say their goodbyes.
Kylian Mbappé was the first to speak up. He posted on Instagram, thanking Alonso and wishing him well. “It’s been short, but it was a pleasure to play for you & learn from you. Thank you for giving me the confidence since Day 1,” Mbappé wrote. “I will remember you as a manager who had clear ideas and knows many things about football. Best of luck for your next chapter.”
Mbappé thrived under Alonso, banging in 29 goals this season and making himself an early contender for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
Arda Güler’s message probably hit the hardest. The 20-year-old had his breakout under Alonso, who really invested in his development. “Mr Xabi Alonso, thank you for believing and trusting in me from the first day,” Güler wrote. “Every conversation, every detail, every demand helped shape my game and push me to a higher level. I’m truly grateful for everything you added to my journey. Your faith in me made me a better player. Wishing you and your staff nothing but success in what comes next. Your impact will always stay with me.”
Aurélien Tchouaméni jumped in with his own tribute Monday night: “Thank you for everything! It was a pleasure to get to learn from one of the best. All the best for your journey.”
Dean Huijsen also posted, thanking Alonso for bringing him over from Bournemouth. “Thank you for everything I have experienced with you, Mister. I wish you the best in your future.”
Backup keeper Andriy Lunin called Alonso “a great manager,” while Dani Ceballos promised “only great things await.” Federico Valverde praised his “great attitude.”
Rodrygo added, “Mister, thank you for every day we spent together, for the trust, the learning, and the moments of shared experience. I wish you great success in your future, and that your journey continues to grow.”
One name missing so far: Vinicius Junior. He still hasn’t said anything about Alonso’s departure.
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.
