Scaloni on Real Madrid's Radar
Lionel Messi could be set to lose his long-term mentor with the Argentina national team, as Real Madrid have reportedly contacted Lionel Scaloni over the prospect of replacing Alvaro Arbeloa.
Arbeloa's Future in Doubt
The World Cup winner is being lined up to take over at the Santiago Bernabeu if Los Blancos part ways with Arbeloa. Madrid find themselves in a period of transition and uncertainty. With the club currently sitting eleven points behind rivals Barcelona in La Liga and having very little left to play for this season, the pressure is mounting on manager Arbeloa.
- Several elite names have been linked with the vacancy at the Santiago Bernabeu
- Cesc Fabregas, Jurgen Klopp, and even France national team boss Didier Deschamps have all reportedly featured on club president Florentino Perez's reported shortlist
Scaloni's Ties to Messi
The latest name to emerge is perhaps the most intriguing yet, given his deep ties to the greatest legend of Madrid's fiercest rivals.
