Real Madrid Confidencial Florentino and Xabi Alonso make the decision, they already have Modric's replacement
Real Madrid are clear about who can be the successor of the Croatian midfielder: he is in the squad
Florentino Pérez is aware that Real Madrid is starting a new phase with excitement and enthusiasm. This morning, the arrival of Xabi Alonso was made official, and there is eagerness to see the man from San Sebastián in action. A player who won't be available is Luka Modric, who will leave after the Club World Cup.
Both the president and the new coach have already decided on the player who will be responsible for replacing the Croatian. Both have come to the conclusion that there is no need to look outside at all. They believe he is already in the squad and it would be Arda Güler.
This idea has been present in Valdebebas for quite some time. Many see the Turk giving his best performance in the midfield area and not near the opposing goal. Alonso is one of those who think this and wants to bring out his maximum potential.
According to various reports, the man from Tolosa is a great admirer of the game played by the former Fenerbahce player. Therefore, it is likely that he will have many more minutes than he has had so far. Ancelotti didn't end up betting on him during the season, and Madrid fans have been eager to see much more of him in action.
The Club World Cup
As the club announced this morning, Xabi Alonso is going to be presented tomorrow in Valdebebas. It is possible that he will be asked about this specific issue, as it could be one of the great attractions that this Madrid will have.
Yesterday, after officially bidding farewell to Modric and Ancelotti and unofficially to Lucas, a glorious era came to an end. However, in the white club, they can't fall into complacency, and it is already time to look to the future with optimism. For this reason, Alonso is already working and will have his first contact at the Club World Cup.
Within the organization, they give enormous importance to this competition for reputation and economic reasons. Additionally, winning this tournament would be the perfect way for Modric and Lucas Vázquez to end their journey at the club in the best possible way.
