From La Masia to Bernabéu, Xabi Alonso Recommends an Unexpected Signing to Real Madrid

The transfer market is completely closed, but the truth is that clubs are already making moves. All of this is with the aim of starting to plan for next season's campaign. At the White House, they are already looking toward the summer and have a defined roadmap.

The main challenge for the sports management is to strengthen and rejuvenate the defensive line. This season, it is evident how difficult it has been for Ancelotti to field a proper defense. Injuries have played a bad trick on Carletto's squad.

Thus, the goal is to rejuvenate the defense with some new faces that bring youth. For the right-back position, Trent Alexander-Arnold will arrive, barring any surprises. As for the left flank, the target was Alphonso Davies, but he ended up renewing with Bayern Munich.

Additionally, Mendy and Fran García are on the squad and are currently performing moderately well. However, both are transferable, and Florentino Pérez could pick up the phone to listen to some offers for them. If one leaves, the Merengue team has a series of alternatives.

According to Fichajes.net, a portal specialized in transfers, Xabi Alonso has reportedly recommended signing Alejandro Grimaldo. The Spaniard plays for Bayer Leverkusen, and the Donostian is delighted to have him on his team. Thus, it is possible that if the coach ends up at Bernabéu, he will request his arrival.

Spanishizing the Squad

A few months ago, Relevo claimed that Florentino Pérez intended to Spanishize the squad. For this reason, in addition to being a good footballer, this option can be really interesting. Moreover, it would be a blow to Barça, as he was at La Masia and they didn't trust him.
