Xabi Alonso's return to Real Madrid as a coach is practically a reality. After Bayer Leverkusen announced Xabi's departure at the end of the season, the man from Tolosa has approached Valdebebas. Chosen to improve several aspects of Real Madrid for the next season, Xabi has already requested two important signings.

Revealed by José Félix Díaz, Xabi has a particular interest in strengthening the defense, making this position his priority. More specifically, Xabi has requested the signing of a left-back and a center-back for the next season. Being aware of this season's performance, Xabi understands that the defense is what needs the most strengthening.

While the club still has quality defenders, this season has shown a clear drop in the level of many. Due to this, and looking ahead to a season where a resurgence is desired, Xabi has a clear intention to once again have a solid defense.

Xabi Alonso's signings

This season has been quite far from the expectations Real Madrid had. After a historic campaign, injuries and the low level of some players have ended up affecting Real Madrid. The defense, above all, has been the most irregular position due to the constant injuries it suffered throughout the season.

First of all, the left-back position has not been as solid as it was last season thanks to Ferland Mendy. With the Frenchman suffering several injuries and Fran García being far from the required level, Xabi will seek a full-back who provides more security.

On the other hand, despite having Rüdiger, Alaba, Militao, and Asencio, the homegrown player is the only one who has managed to be consistent. A worrying situation that Xabi Alonso himself will change not only through the signing of a center-back but also with some departures.

The renewed Real Madrid

Although Real Madrid has more positions to strengthen, Xabi is aware of the importance of the defense for the team. Having had the most solid defense in all of Europe, Xabi will renew this position to be back in its best times.
