31 years old and could join Real Madrid for free, the engine Xabi needs for midfield
The white club has its sights set on signing a 31-year-old star who could be ideal for Xabi
The squad's performance, overall, isn't bad at all; however, there are areas where improvements can be made. In this regard, a footballer with a very interesting profile could join the midfield who, despite being 31 years old, would fit in very well. According to what Defensa Central has learned, we're referring to Bernardo Silva, a Manchester City footballer.
This player could be the major missing piece for Real Madrid, which desperately needs a playmaker. One of these could clearly be the Portuguese footballer, who has shown himself to be quite fond of the club at certain times.
Now, with Alonso's instruction in the mix, it could be a perfect opportunity to sign this outstanding player. Even more so considering he could leave Manchester City soon, potentially resulting in a completely free transfer.

Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid
He has been an essential piece for Guardiola, alongside other great players at Manchester City. For Real Madrid, he has also been a headache, since every time he has had the chance, he has scored against the club in Champions League eliminations.
Today, at 31 years old, he remains an extremely valuable footballer, not only for his club but also for his national team, and the best part is that he could leave for free in 2026. However, considering several details, his signing could even be accelerated this summer of 2025 for a rather low price.
Currently, his market value is around €38 million, which could be reduced by half or even less. This opens up an important opportunity for Florentino to bring in a footballer who could help Alonso's system a lot without spending much.
They wait for the opportunity
While everything seems to be in place to make it happen, they'll wait for the perfect opportunity to pursue this addition. Although for many it could be a mistake because he's a somewhat older footballer, the reality in soccer is different. It could be the perfect opportunity to strengthen the midfield with a creator, without spending absurd amounts.
