Bayern Munich highly interested in recruiting future Real Madrid target to replace Tuchel as manager
After intense speculation regarding the future of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian ended up renewing for two additional years with the Merengues.
Despite Brazil lurking in the background and making frequent advances, Ancelotti publicly exclaimed his wish was to always continue coaching in the Spanish capital.
With the deal now set in stone and Ancelotti bestowed with the responsibility of overseeing the team for the foreseeable future, reports of Real Madrid planning the 64-year-old’s succession plan have died down.
Habitually associated with Los Blancos prior to Ancelotti’s renewal was Bayern Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso.
A revered figure at Real Madrid in his playing days, he has emerged as one of the top managerial prospects, seamlessly transitioning his exceptional skills from the field to a coaching role.
Bayern Munich enter the picture
Now, as per Jorge C. Picon, Bayern will go after Xabi Alonso in the summer.
By extending Carlo Ancelotti’s contract, the Bavarians aim to capitalise on Real Madrid’s decision to withdraw from the race for the Spanish coach.
Moreover, when Thomas Tuchel’s term at Bayern concludes, the executives of the German team want to hand Alonso the keys to the bench because they are impressed by what he is accomplishing at Leverkusen.
After all, he has helped his side secure a first place position in the Bundesliga, leading over giants like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
For Real Madrid, Bayern’s potential approach will not ring alarm bells anymore now that Ancelotti’s future no longer arouses uncertainty.
Nonetheless, knowing such a promising manager, who created an incredible legacy as a player in the Spanish capital, is joining a European powerhouse will be concerning.
More so, as he will likely not be available to replace Ancelotti in the future if things go seriously wrong.
Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
