Mercato PSG: Doha also activates the Xabi Alonso lead
A few minutes after Le Parisien revealed that Luis Enrique was one of PSG's top priorities to succeed Christophe Galtier, RMC Sport has announced that the Parisian club has activated the... Xabi Alonso.
The name game is in full swing for Christophe Galtier's successor at PSG, whose future will no longer be written in Paris next season, barring a major surprise. A few minutes ago, Le Parisien revealed that <a href=/news/psg-naples-duel-for-luis-enrique>Luis Enrique was at the top of the list alongside two other coaches, whose names were not specified.
According to RMC Sport, Doha has turned its attention to Xabi Alonso, the Spanish coach of the moment following his good work at Bayer Leverkusen, whom he took over in 17th place and who now occupy 6th place in the Bundesliga.
Xabi Alonso sees himself at Real Madrid instead
However, Xabi Alonso's desire to eventually succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen's desire to retain him this summer and extend his contract, which expires in 2024, have made the matter complicated.
Still according to RMC Sport, which does not mention Luis Enrique by name, Jose Mourinho and Thiago Motta are two other credible candidates for the PSG bench. Two names that come up frequently, and which were also mentioned by L'Equipe in its dossier of the day.
