With the summer market approaching, Real Madrid is preparing to revolutionize its squad. Aware of the need for reinforcements, the club achieved the first major move with the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold.However, recently, Real Madrid can strengthen its defense thanks to the support of Xabi Alonso.

This is because Jonathan Tah is getting closer to becoming Real Madrid's next central defender.Despite the interest that Barcelona had shown in Tah, Xabi doesn't seek to part with one of his stars at Bayer Leverkusen. Having an outstanding performance, Tah would be a top-level reinforcement for Real Madrid.

While his age may be a concern, Tah has compensated for this aspect with his experience and excellent quality.Established as one of the most solid central defenders in Europe, his signing for Real Madrid is a positive operation in all aspects.

Xabi Alonso's Star

At 29 years old, Jonathan Tah reached his best level under Xabi Alonso's guidance. Playing 10 seasons with Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi was responsible for making Tah one of the leaders of the successful last campaign. Winning the German Cup and the Bundesliga undefeated, Tah was essential for this historic achievement.

His great level and defensive solidity are qualities that would greatly help Real Madrid next season.Additionally, his signing presents itself as a fairly straightforward operation since his current contract ends at the end of the current season.

Being able to be signed at zero cost by any club, it's no surprise that Barcelona has shown interest in Tah.Even so, the Catalans don't have a real chance to compete for this signing against Xabi Alonso but, above all, against Real Madrid.

The Solidity That Real Madrid Needs

Despite having very experienced central defenders, the defense has remained one of the most problematic positions for Real Madrid. That's why the arrival of a player like Tah would be a great reinforcement that would ensure Real Madrid's near future.
