According to reports (Sky Germany), the prospect of Xabi Alonso joining Real Madrid is very realistic, Leverkusen are also ready to lose the coach who has successfully brought them trophies. Mbappe arrival at Real Madrid will be a new problem within the team because of his ambition to become the number 1 player in the team, while Vinicius is also eyeing that position. When two typical players like this are on the same team, they will have a hard time working together because they want to show who is the best.
Leverkusen know they're a small team and can't fulfill what Xabi Alonso's ask, whether they like it or not, they must release Xabi to Real Madrid.
Yeah, Real Madrid perform better with Rodrygo and Vinicius because Rodrygo don't really mean if he's staying behind Vinicius all the time, he's like Neymar that can't shine due to Messi.
If I have a choice, I would kick Vinicius and keep Mbappe, Vinicius is a player with zero attitude, he need to learn from this lesson.
Leverkusen also know they cannot keep Xabi Alonso. So accepting would be a good ending for both parties. Although Ancelotti is still under contract with the club, expectations are always very high at Madrid, and Ancelotti knows that if he lets the team fall short this season, maintaining his position will be difficult. If a change in coach is necessary, Alonso has emerged as a leading candidate for the role.
Yes, if it were me, I would also choose Mbappe, Mbappe is probably more mature and has more leadership qualities. Vinicius is overconfident with his talent, his personality, and his attitude of course that is what directly affected the recent Ballon d'Or when he was not awarded. And this opposing competition between two top strikers is the reason for Madrid's failure in attack.
