Real Madrid Confidencial The former Barça player who is being considered to strengthen Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso gives the green light
This former footballer from the blaugrana team will change scenery: he could join the Merengue side
The Club World Cup is what keeps Real Madrid's attention focused solely and exclusively at this moment. However, the club isn't losing track of possible opportunities that may arise in the market.
One of today's news stories is that Nico González has many chances to leave Manchester City. The English team paid €60 million (about $65 million) for him just six months ago, and it's quite likely that he'll leave the Etihad soon.
This footballer, who played for FC Barcelona, would strengthen the midfield of any team. Xabi Alonso wouldn't mind having him, but he understands that he might be quite expensive. The Donostian would like to have a player with these characteristics, but in the upper management at Chamartín, they're not willing to make such a huge outlay.
For this reason, as of today, July 8, it's hard to think that Real Madrid will sign Nico. It's true that absolutely anything can happen until August 31, but this would be a real surprise.
Right now, activity in the Bernabéu offices is completely paralyzed, but it'll resume when the tour in the United States ends. That's when transfers will become relevant again. In fact, Xabi will meet with its executives to share his opinion regarding the needs he sees in his squad.
It has importance
In the upper management at Chamartín, nobody denies that the manager has a say in signings. Proof of this has been the arrivals of Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Florentino, as expected, has no problem listening to his concerns and will try to meet his needs at all times. Meanwhile, the president believes that what's important right now is to see what happens with Rodrygo Goes. He's always defended him, but he understands that nobody should be kept against their will.
Therefore, it's clear that he'll listen to offers for him. He believes he can get between €80 and €100 million (about $87 million and $109 million). The player, meanwhile, isn't at all sure about his future.
