RealMadridConfidencial Neither Zubimendi nor Stiller: Xabi Alonso has expressly requested the signing of another midfielder.
Xabi Alonso wants to have another midfielder in the squad for the next season
Real Madrid is working intensively to perfect Xabi Alonso's team. They promised him that they would make several signings this season, and they are going to keep their word. The Spanish coach is very happy with the moves being made, and he hopes that agreements will be reached.
"Xabi Alonso plans to use his contacts at Liverpool to try to push forward an ambitious transfer of Alexis Mac Allister to Real Madrid". This is what is claimed by Football Insider, a portal dedicated to sharing news related to signings.
Mac Allister is 26 years old and has a contract with Liverpool until June 30, 2028, so it is complicated. Additionally, according to Transfermarkt, he has a market value of 90 million euros, a price that Madrid is not willing to pay. In any case, they could try to lower that price, but they find it quite difficult.
More options
Real Madrid is very alert to the transfer window, because there are several interesting possibilities in the market. Real Madrid takes into account many aspects, such as market value, age, and contractual situation. Based on that, a list of priorities is usually made.
In Argentina, they are talking a lot about Enzo Fernández, and even Franco Mastantuono. However, at Real Madrid, they are not leaking anything about these names, although there are journalists who do talk about meetings with Franco. It remains to be seen what the preference of the white club will end up being.
Exit operation
The future of Luka Modrić, who finishes his contract and it is still unknown if he will renew, must also be taken into account. Another aspect to consider is the case of Dani Ceballos, who is linked until 2027, but could also end up leaving. Everything will depend on the role Xabi is going to give them in the team.
Evidently, if one or both end up leaving, Real Madrid would be obliged to strengthen the midfield in this transfer market. In the club, there are people who see it as one of the urgencies of this summer.
