The 'Transfer Guru' Drops the Bombshell: Goodbye to Barça to Sign for Madrid

François Gallardo claims that Jonathan Tah will be a new player for Real Madrid and is an express request from Xabi Alonso

François Gallardo, known on social media as the "transfer guru," has dropped a real bomb. His latest tweet hasn't left anyone indifferent.

According to Gallardo, Jonathan Tah will sign for Real Madrid next summer. He will do so as a free agent, with the white club not paying a transfer fee.

The Bayer Leverkusen center-back was one of the names strongly rumored to reinforce FC Barcelona's defense. Now, according to this information, his destination will be Bernabéu.

The news adds another key detail: Tah is an express request from Xabi Alonso. The Leverkusen coach, who has been linked multiple times with Real Madrid's bench, is reportedly already making moves from the shadows.

Gallardo takes it for granted. For him, Xabi will be Madrid's next coach. Tah would be one of his first reinforcements.

Goodbye to Barça

Barça had been following the German defender for some time. His profile was liked by the sports management, especially for his physique, leadership, and experience.

If the operation is confirmed, the blue and red club would miss out on a key signing for their defense. Another blow from Madrid in the market.

Jonathan Tah is 28 years old and is having a great season with Leverkusen. Undisputed starter and leader in the defense, he has been a key piece in the historic year of the German team.

Moreover, his contract ends in June, so he can freely negotiate with any club from January.

If confirmed, Real Madrid would achieve a top-level signing at zero cost. A common strategy in recent markets, as already happened with Alaba or Rüdiger.

Xabi Alonso knows Tah perfectly. His confidence in the player may have been key to convincing him to choose the white project.

Another Accurate Exclusive?

Gallardo has failed in the past, but he has also succeeded in high-profile operations. His message has caused a flood of reactions.

"WORLD EXCLUSIVE!" he wrote. Could it be true? Is he once again ahead of the rest?

For now, only one thing is clear: Real Madrid is already looking to the future. Jonathan Tah could be part of it.
