“Real Madrid Under Scrutiny: Mega Upheaval Planned as Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s Future in Question”

After the 0: 4 debacle and crashing out in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Manchester City, EVERYTHING and EVERYONE at Real Madrid is now under scrutiny – even legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti (63) is suddenly in question!

Reason: The title defense in the premier class failed for last year’s champion, in the league archrival Barcelona celebrates the championship. The only thing that remains for Real is the cup win – not enough for the high demands of the royal team around President Florentino Pérez (76).

Mega upheaval planned at Real!

Ancelotti, who still has a contract until 2024, has to tremble for his job. The Spanish “Sport” blames Ancelotti for the gossip against Man City. Everything points to the fact that he will no longer be a coach at Real Madrid next season.

Not all Spanish media believe that the Italian will really be gone in the summer. According to “AS”, Pérez will meet with the coach next week to plan the upcoming season!

So far there has been no doubt in Madrid that Ancelotti will at least fulfill the remaining year of his contract – he himself has no doubts: “The President (Florentino Pérez; ed.) made a clear statement 15 days ago. Nobody doubts it.” Recently, Ancelotti was under discussion as Brazil’s future national coach.

Will the ManCity gossip change Ancelotti’s future?

Remains to be seen. Of course, on the other hand: The Royal team will change!

Real wants to strengthen the squad in all areas. But in order to get new players, some have to be sorted out from the current squad. The Real strike list:

▶ Full-back Lucas Vazquez (Contract until 2024) will be 32 years old. The Spaniard has been at Real since 2015 and has not played 1,000 minutes in the league this season.

▶ Courtois-Ersatz Andrij Lunin (24) has not convinced in his few appearances (17 competitive games). Madrid will be looking for a new keeper. The Ukrainian himself also wants to have more playing time and leave the royal team.

▶ Marco Asensio (27) has not yet renewed his contract with Real Madrid. There are several teams interested in the Spain international. He has no guaranteed place in the eleven and could be looking for new opportunities, according to “Sport”.

▶ Eden Hazards (32) has not played a role at Real Madrid for a long time and has never really arrived in Madrid since moving from Chelsea to the royal team. In total, he only made a measly 76 appearances (seven goals, twelve assists) in three and a half seasons. Problem: A change in the summer doesn’t seem to be an issue for the Belgian…

▶ Ferland Mendy (27) has lost his regular place to the young Eduardo Camavinga (20). Despite not being a full-back, Camavinga was Ancelotti’s favorite in crucial games. Mendy could go in search of a new job.

In addition, Jesús Vallejo (26), Álvaro Odriozola (27), Nacho (33), Dani Ceballos (26) and Mariano (26) have no future at Real Madrid beyond the summer.

But the “new” Real Madrid is already under construction. With Camavinga (came from Rennes in 2021) and Aurélien Tchouaméni (23/came from Monaco in 2022 for 80 million euros), the Spaniards have brought in young players – and more should and will follow.

According to SPORT BILD information, José Ángel Sánchez (56), the managing director of Real Madrid, wants to make representations to BVB this week to negotiate the conditions for the transfer of Dortmund midfield star Jude Bellingham (19).

With Bellingham, Real is already far in the negotiations. Contract until 2029. Salary per year: 20 million euros. Now it’s about the redemption. The fixed amount will be just over 100 million euros. Bonuses are added. Real now wants to tighten the deal.

This was also discussed with Luka Modrić (37). It is possible that the Croatian will extend his contract until next year’s European Championships in Germany. But then he is no longer set, but rather a stand-by star behind Bellingham. Toni Kroos (33) and Karim Benzema (35) should also play smaller roles in the future due to their advancing age.

The mega upheaval at Real, it’s progressing in leaps and bounds…
