Alexander-Arnold and 2 More Signings Chosen by Florentino for the New Real Madrid

Real Madrid Are Preparing a New Project with Alexander Arnold and Two More Signings

Real Madrid is trying to shape a new project by seeking the best signings in the market. It is true that the team continues to win as they demonstrated last season, even lifting the Champions League. But they are in the middle of a transition that involves 3 more signings.

Players like Kroos or Benzema have left and the next ones who could do so are Modric and Lucas Vázquez. Both end their contracts this June 30, and it is unknown what will happen with them. Therefore, Real Madrid has already moved to try to find a solution.

To fill the Galician's place, Alexander Arnold will arrive, with the idea of strengthening the right-back position alongside Carvajal. If everything goes as planned, he will arrive this summer at no cost after ending his contract with Liverpool. Finding a replacement for Luka seems more complicated.

Arda Güler was going to be the one to take the Croatian's place in the merengue line-ups. But he is increasingly an attacking player, moving his position away from the midfield. This forces them to look for new candidates to help in the creation in the midfield area.

A Third Signing That Florentino Is Preparing, and He Already Has the Chosen One

The third position they consider needs to be strengthened for the new project is the center-back. The injuries they have suffered in recent years have left them very weakened in that position. The age of Rüdiger and Alaba suggests thinking about a possible replacement.

With Asencio and Militao already in the squad, the idea is to incorporate a third young defender looking at the long term. The one Florentino likes the most is William Saliba, currently at Arsenal. The Gunners do not want to sell him, much less at a price that could be affordable.

But his contract ends in 2027 and Real Madrid is very alert in case he decides not to renew. If that happens, the Whites would go for him in a year, in 2026. The proximity of the end of his contract may force the London club to accept a much more reasonable price.
