Guardiola about to sign Xabi's favorite beyond Wirtz, direct hit

Xabi Alonso's arrival at Real Madrid is a dream come true for Madridists. Replacing the historic Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi will return to Valdebebas with new ideas and, of course, countless changes to make. Aware that Real Madrid's squad must improve, Xabi has a major target for the summer market.

Tijjani Reijnders, AC Milan's midfielder, is Xabi's favorite player to sign during the summer. However, Josep Guardiola has also shown interest, considering Reijnders an essential player for Manchester City. After the City's poor season, Guardiola seeks to reverse this situation through multiple transfers.

Working on an offer to convince Reijnders to leave Milan, Real Madrid is at risk of losing Xabi's target. Even so, given his contract with Milan until 2030, Reijnders's possible departure from the Italian squad is seen as a complicated operation.

The battle between Xabi and Guardiola

Having made history with Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi seeks to do the same with Real Madrid. Known for his dynamic and highly aggressive schemes, Xabi has seen Reijnders as the ideal player for his project. At 26 years old, the Dutch player has managed to show his potential as an excellent midfielder at Milan.

Achieving 15 goals and 5 assists this season, Reijnders has proven his ability to help in the most crucial moments. His vision of the game, ball control, and goal-scoring instinct are qualities that can be leveraged by Xabi Alonso.

Unfortunately, Xabi will have to fight against Josep Guardiola to secure Reijnders's services for the next season. A battle that could be the prelude to future duels between both coaches on the field with Real Madrid and City.

The battle against Real Madrid

Looking to win a signing over Real Madrid, Guardiola is willing to do anything to complete the operation for Reijnders. Although City is a club that has achieved several successes in recent years, their feats do not compare to those of Real Madrid.
