Developments are accelerating within Real Madrid as talk intensifies about the potential return of French coach Zinedine Zidane to lead the club’s sporting project in the coming phase. This comes amid clear interest from President Florentino P\u00e9rez in bringing back the coach who previously guided the team through a historic era.<\/p>\n
According to Le Parisien, indirect contacts have taken place in recent weeks to explore the possibility of Zidane’s return, especially given internal calls for a technical restructuring of the team before the start of the new season. Reports also indicate that Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 is playing a role in trying to convince his compatriot to return to the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n
National Team Condition Stalls the Deal<\/p>\n
Despite welcoming the idea of returning to coaching, Zidane has a clear priority before making his final decision: he is awaiting the French Football Federation’s decision regarding his potential succession of Didier Deschamps as national team coach. If he is officially excluded from the French national team’s plans, Real Madrid will give the green light to begin a new phase.<\/p>\n
An Expected Technical Revolution in the Dressing Room<\/p>\n
The French coach is not content with simply returning; he is demanding a complete overhaul, starting with the departure of seven players at once to pave the way for high-profile signings that will restore the team’s technical and financial balance. Among the names being considered for departure are:<\/p>\n
Dani Ceballos<\/p>\n
Fran Garc\u00eda<\/p>\n
The list also includes:<\/p>\n
Brahim D\u00edaz<\/p>\n
Andriy Lunin<\/p>\n
David Alaba<\/p>\n
Data suggests that Alaba’s contract expiration and high salary increase the likelihood of his departure, while Lunin has failed to secure a regular place in the new tactical plan.<\/p>\n
Unsuccessful Investments<\/p>\n
Defensively, Dean Hoesen’s name stands out as a key player whose future needs to be decided after a disappointing season. Franco Mastantu\u00f1o is also mentioned among the potential departures as part of a comprehensive review of recent signings.<\/p>\n
A New Project with a Different Appearance<\/p>\n
The anticipated moves are not limited to a change of manager but also include a strategic plan to restructure the team according to a new competitive vision focused on reducing financial burdens and raising technical quality. Real Madrid’s management understands that the next phase requires decisive decisions in the transfer market to ensure a strong return both domestically and in Europe.<\/p>\n
The coming days may bring the official announcement that will define the features of the new project at the Bernab\u00e9u, amid widespread public anticipation of what could be one of the biggest shifts in coaching and the transfer market this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
