Inda Reveals the Name of Real Madrid's Second Signing for 2025-26

It is well known that, looking ahead to the next summer market, Real Madrid plans to significantly strengthen its squad. With several positions needing renewal, the club has practically agreed on the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, the player wouldn't be the only major star arriving at Valdebebas following the revelation made by Eduardo Inda.

Recently, Inda has claimed that Real Madrid's second signing for the next season is Xabi Alonso. The Spanish coach, after making history at Bayer Leverkusen, is ready to return to Valdebebas. A dream that the Spaniard has held for a long time and that would signify the beginning of a new era for the white club.

However, the big question mark in this operation is, clearly, Carlo Ancelotti. The coach, who has a contract until 2026, could leave with one season left to play. A situation that Real Madrid must solve quickly to respect a legend like Ancelotti and welcome another like Xabi Alonso.

Second Arrival Agreed

Since his arrival at Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi has been responsible for completely transforming the club. From fighting against relegation, the club achieved a historic double that broke a curse believed to be eternal. Forming a squad that combines youth with experience, Xabi continues to shine with the results he has obtained this season.

Proposing a more dynamic and attractive game for the spectator, Real Madrid has chosen him as the successor to Carlo Ancelotti. While the Spaniard is still far from the Italian's prestige, the club trusts his abilities to continue his legacy.

Like Ancelotti, Xabi has a contract until 2026 with Bayer but with a clause that allows his departure to Real Madrid. A detail that would make his arrival easier at a club that still has to solve Carlo Ancelotti's future within the institution.

One Legend for Another

Even if this season ends up being historic for Real Madrid, everything points to Ancelotti leaving in the summer. The Italian, in this way, would put an end to a successful period with the team. Due to all his achievements, he deserves a farewell worthy of his stature.
