Real Madrid reassure ex-academy talent that they will do ‘everything' to sign him after Club World Cup
Real Madrid reassure ex-academy talent that they will do 'everything' to sign him after Club World Cup Xabi Alonso has arrived at Real Madrid with a clear plan and mental blueprint in place of how to take the team forward. Taking over after a season where the club failed to win any of the three major competitions, the pressure is on the manager to turn things around fast and he has thus wasted no time in communicating his requirements. Advertisement Two of his requested signings have been completed while the Franco Mastantuono deal is also all but complete. As relayed earlier today, however, the manager still has a list of three signings that he demands after the FIFA Club World Cup, and Alvaro Carreras is one of them. In constant contact Alonso sees Carreras to be an important cog in his plans for the season ahead and all signs point to the club accelerating his signing after the upcoming tournament. The initial idea was always to sign him before the Club World Cup, but Benfica's high asking price and tough negotiations complicated matters for Real Madrid. As relayed by MARCA, however, the club remain calm. Carreras' operation on hold for now. (Photo by) Advertisement The Merengues' representatives have even called Carreras to tell him that the club will do everything possible to sign him after the Club World Cup and to thus remain calm about his future. It has, after all, not been an easy set of weeks for the player who has been waiting for the call from Madrid confirming his move and immediate incorporation into the team. Instead, he is now playing the same event but for his current employers. From Manchester United's buyback clause to the clause in his contract that deemed the English club recipients of a bonus in case of a transfer, there have been numerous hurdles in Real Madrid's pursuit of Carreras. The hope, however, is that the steam will cool down after the Club World Cup and that a solution can be worked out. Real Madrid do not have plans for any alternatives and are fully focused on landing Carreras. But everything will have to wait until next month.

Liverpool bank on 'world-class' Wirtz after record deal
The golden boy of German football is set to become the new prince of the Premier League as Florian Wirtz prepares to join Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record fee. Fresh from winning a 20th English top-flight title, Arne Slot's Reds have broken the bank to land a rising star already labelled as one of the world's best by former Reds midfielder and Wirtz's former coach Xabi Alonso. Advertisement British media reported on Friday that the Premier League champions had agreed a club-record deal worth up to £116 million ($157 million) to secure the services of the attacking midfielder. Liverpool can now agree personal terms with a player coveted by a number of top European clubs. Wirtz's abundant potential as a teenager sparked a row between his hometown club Cologne and Leverkusen five years ago when Leverkusen, who are backed by pharmaceutical giants Bayer, swooped to sign him at 17. Cologne argued that a gentleman's agreement not to poach youth team players had been violated, but Leverkusen said Wirtz was a first-team signing and within months he had made his Bundesliga debut. Advertisement His rise was interrupted by a cruciate knee ligament injury in March 2022 that forced him to miss the next 10 months. By the time he returned, Alonso had been installed as Leverkusen boss and together they would spearhead the club's greatest days. Leverkusen ended Bayern Munich's grip on the Bundesliga in stunning fashion, romping to the title and the German Cup without losing a single match in the 2023/24 season. Wirtz netted his first career hat-trick on the day the title was sealed against Werder Bremen, on his way to being crowned Bundesliga player of the year. "Flo is one of the top players in the world, he's world class," said Alonso, who compared his protege to Lionel Messi in terms of his understanding of the game. Advertisement "Why is Messi so good? Because he knows how and when to play simple passes. Messi says: 'You're in a better position? Here, there you have the ball'," said Alonso, a hero of Liverpool's 2005 Champions League triumph. "It's not always about making the most brilliant move, but the best and smartest. Florian can do that. That's why he's so good." - 'The full package' - Both star player and coach committed to staying with the Leverkusen project for another 12 months, but defeat in the Europa League final to Atalanta to round off the 2023/24 campaign was a sign of things to come. Advertisement Bayern restored their grip on the German game last season but could not convince Wirtz to follow the lead of many others in joining from their Bundesliga rivals. Instead, he made it clear his preference was a move to the Premier League champions and the chance to add his name to Liverpool's cast of legends. "A huge talent, huge future in front of him, so Liverpool is the place for him," said the club's former captain Steven Gerrard. Despite 57 goals and 65 assists in 197 games for Leverkusen, Wirtz will begin life at Anfield in the shadow of Mohamed Salah. But the Reds are banking on Wirtz's creativity to help maintain the 32-year-old's prolific goalscoring numbers and ease the burden of carrying the Liverpool attack. Advertisement The club's previous record signing, £85 million recruit Darwin Nunez, has failed to deliver and could be sold to help recoup some of their major outlay on new faces. Liverpool will hope Wirtz can handle the pressure of his price tag and the physicality of the Premier League to ensure there is no second season slump under Slot. Former Germany head coach Hansi Flick is in no doubt about what the midfielder has to offer. "He's simply an outstanding technician, loves to play, is very creative, has a good shot, runs hard and is quick," he said. "He's the full package." jw/mw
