From what I noticed in few sources, Antony declared in the previous months that he wants to stay with Real Betis for longer time. Considering his actual performance, more eyes were attracted to him and it is expected to see him switching sides and joining a bigger club. There is Atletico Madrid and Arsenal that seem to have serious interests in the player with side talks going on.
Although the player is comfy there, I expected him to try to join another club especially that Manchester United will try to bring back some wasted money for him since they bought him from Arsenal. Otherwise, odds to see him returning to United are slim.
Even if Antony declared to stay in Real Betis, he can't do it if Man United doesn't want to loan him again to Real Betis. Since he doesn't want to return to Man United, I'm sure Man United prefers to sell him in the next transfer windows because Man United will get bigger money to buy new players. Amorim must try to rebuild Man United with stronger squad, so he must already plan to buy some new players. This makes Man United to try getting some money by selling some unnecessary players. If there is a good offer for Antony, I'm sure Man United will be ready to let him leaving Man United. Which team who offer higher fees, they will have a bigger chance to sign Antony. If Atletico Madrid and Arsenal want him, they must make offer as high as possible.

Instead of Zidane, Xabi Alonso seems to be a strong candidate to replace Ancelotti if he really leaves Real Madrid at the end of the season. Xabi Alonso has looked settled from how he had another important season with Leverkusen this season, he is likely to sign a contract with his former club.
We have no issue about the return of Zidane. So we can assume that Zidane will have no chance to be the next coach of Real Madrid. So far, I only heard 2 candidates (Xabi and Klopp). Both of them are good coaches, but I think Klopp is a better choice. So far, I don't hear official announcement from Real Madrid related to the next coach that they are still negotiating now. However, it is clear that Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid. I've read the news that Real Madrid and Ancelotti get an agreement for the exit plan very soon.

In addition, good news also came from a player who was targeted by Real Madrid. Alexander-Arnold seems to have agreed to join Real Madrid next season after his contract with Liverpool expires at the end of this season. Alexander-Arnold has spoken about his decision on social media, so Real Madrid have indeed got their target player once again.
It seems we have already got official news about the exit of Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. He only has Real Madrid as the next destination. So we can conclude that next season he will join the Real Madrid squad. I'm sure Alexander-Arnold won't be the only new Real Madrid defender, there should be more new defenders to strengthen Real Madrid defense.
