AliousPerez Reportedly Open to Letting Two Real Madrid Stars Follow Ancelotti to Rangers in Sensational Transfer Twist
In a potential blockbuster development, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is reportedly willing to allow two major stars to leave the Spanish giants and reunite with Davide Ancelotti — if the young coach takes charge at Rangers.
Davide, son of legendary manager Carlo Ancelotti, has emerged as a serious candidate to become the next permanent boss at Ibrox. The 35-year-old, currently part of the coaching setup at Real Madrid, is believed to have a formal offer on the table from Rangers as the club’s ownership group, 49ers Enterprises, zeroes in on a new long-term appointment to succeed interim manager Barry Ferguson.
According to *Defensa Central* (13 May), Ancelotti could bring a seismic shift in Rangers’ transfer strategy, with Perez reportedly ready to sanction the departures of Austrian defender David Alaba and French left-back Ferland Mendy. The motivation behind the decision? A desire to trim Real Madrid’s substantial wage bill as they prepare for another era of Galactico-level recruitment.
For Rangers, the prospect of welcoming two current Real Madrid players — both experienced international stars with Champions League credentials — would mark a transformative moment. Such moves would typically be reserved for fantasy football scenarios rather than Scottish Premiership reality.
While the prospect has left fans buzzing with excitement, concerns remain over the injury records of both players. Still, even limited appearances from Alaba and Mendy could add world-class leadership and influence in the dressing room, potentially proving decisive in closing the gap on Celtic in the short term.
This potential transfer coup underscores the type of pull Davide Ancelotti could have if he takes the reins in Glasgow, leveraging his deep ties to Madrid’s elite squad. While his lack of managerial experience is a known risk, the boldness of the move reflects a new level of ambition under the incoming ownership.
If the appointment goes through, and if Alaba and Mendy do arrive at Ibrox, it could signal a remarkable new chapter for Rangers — one defined by elite pedigree, European ambition, and a willingness to think far beyond the Scottish football norm.
