Arnold and 3 More Signings: Real Madrid's Plan After the Champions League K.O.

Real Madrid's defeat in the Champions League quarter-finals has been especially painful for the club. Beyond the elimination itself, the most serious aspect has been the manner in which it occurred. Arsenal was better both in the first leg and the second leg. 

This has set off alarms in the noble area of Chamartín, and Florentino Pérez has a clear roadmap to follow. The president of the white team hopes to sign a left-back, a midfielder, and an striker. This last one, only if one of the three forwards ends up leaving.

Additionally, Trent Alexander-Arnold is already completely secured and will be responsible for reinforcing the right flank of Bernabéu.  The Englishman, in fact, is going to become the first signing of the next season, and his arrival is fantastic news. It represents a quality leap, given that he is, along with Carvajal, the best in the world in his position.

An important aspect is that he will come completely free in terms of transfer. He arrives as a free agent, being a market opportunity that Florentino Pérez is going to take full advantage of.

However,  it will not be the only move they will make at the white house. The sports management is aware that they need more than one operation to improve this squad, which has been shown to have certain shortcomings to consider.

Therefore, it will be an intense summer with many news stories in a Madridist key. Additionally, renewals, such as that of Vinicius Junior, will also be a topic of discussion in the coming months.

A Project Coming to an End

Barring a major surprise,  the project led by Carlo Ancelotti is coming to its full conclusion. The Italian coach's message doesn't resonate in the locker room, and there are even players who question his approach. The Reggiolo native is a legend of the institution, but everything has a beginning and an end.

It remains to be seen what ultimately happens with his successor, who will also be important in understanding the signings. Xabi Alonso is the main candidate for this.
