European Press Shocked by Events at Real Madrid
Following the heated exchanges that have occurred since last week among the players of Real Madrid, the crisis at Real Madrid is making headlines across Europe. The Catalan press, Mundo, headlines “Torn Dressing Rooms“. In a tense dressing room after numerous internal tensions, this episode symbolizes the spiral of sporting and managerial crisis, with economic disputes surrounding the Bernabeu and club financing, leaving a blurry future around the club, especially regarding the coach position, and increasingly opening the door to a return of Mourinho, seen as the only one by Florentino Perez capable of saving the club. Abroad, in France, the newspaper L’Equipe also speaks of a “crisis before the Clasico“. A fight between two teammates has added more to the crisis in a dressing room greatly fractured before facing Barcelona on Sunday, it can be read. In England, the Daily Mail writes: “Valverde to the hospital after a fight with his teammate“. These tensions, added to the Rüdiger-Carreras fight, the Mbappé-Vinicius and Mbappé-Bellingham conflicts, as well as the public criticism against Arbeloa, reveal a fragmented dressing room, governed more by clans than a clear hierarchy.
Manchester United wants Morgan Rogers for “post-Bruno Fernandes”
In Manchester, Morgan Rogers appears to be the most credible candidate to succeed Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United in the long term and also strengthen the left wing this season. The Portuguese remains excellent this season and is approaching the record for assists in the Premier League, but his future remains uncertain due to a release clause and a contract that can still evolve. United wants to keep him, but is already preparing for the future in case he leaves after the World Cup or next season, and Rogers ticks the boxes due to his versatility, creativity, and confirmed level in the Premier League. Aston Villa could be a seller if it finances its own reconstruction, but the competition is strong and the expected price for Rogers is high, making it a big deal for the summer.
Several Clubs Interested in David Alaba
For his final dance, David Alaba has been offered to the top teams in the Italian championship. Likely to leave Real Madrid in the summer of 2026, as his contract is not being extended, the 33-year-old Austrian is reaching the end of his cycle in Madrid, hindered by serious injuries. Courted by several clubs, including Milan, the media in Italy present him as a real zero-cost opportunity for the transfer window. The Corriere dello Sport indicates that he has even received interest from the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Salzburg, while his agent is also looking at AC Milan. His versatile profile, experience, and impressive track record make him an attractive target, even though his physical condition remains the main question mark.
