Real Madrid Confidencial Neither Carreras nor Konaté: the must-have signing Xabi has requested from Florentino
The possible signing for Real Madrid that the coach has mentioned among the priorities
Once the participation in the Club World Cup is over, the players go on vacation. But in the offices of Real Madrid, they're also thinking about possible signings. The defeat against PSG has brought doubts back about the current squad and whether someone should be brought in.
We know that Álvaro Carreras is the next signing, something that has been taken for granted for some time. In addition, there has been talk of possible reinforcements for the center of the defense, with Konaté being strongly considered. The mistakes by Asencio and Rüdiger are pushing the Liverpool player into the spotlight for Madridists.
But the latest reports point to the request Xabi Alonso has made to Florentino. The man from Tolosa has insisted that a midfielder needs to arrive, according to what was reported on La SER. Although the club had ruled it out, right now it seems that nothing is being ruled out.
They'll look at the market again seeking a reliable "number 5" who could arrive in the coming weeks. It's not certain that this will happen since Madridists weren't counting on it. As we said, Xabi does consider it a priority for improvement.
Real Madrid awaits possible sales to decide on signings
At Real Madrid, they believed that with Franco Mastantuono, the midfield was already reinforced. They see him as the talent with the most potential right now on the scene, and they considered it enough. Even more so after seeing Arda Güler's performance as a playmaking midfielder.
It's also important to note that players like Huijsen or Trent weren't present against PSG. Both are going to be important pieces when it comes to playing the ball out from the back. This makes Real Madrid think they don't need to sign anyone, although they'll wait for possible sales.
The departures of Rodrygo and Ceballos could change the outlook and prompt a move in the market. With the money and space both would leave, there could be an important signing. All eyes would be on a player who could strengthen the midfield this summer.
