The new Joselu at Real Madrid has a first and last name, Xabi Alonso has requested him.

Joselu's time at Real Madrid was one of the most beloved and exciting periods the club has had. The fans don't forget the moments they were able to enjoy with someone who, for many, was just like one of them. Therefore, having someone like him back in the squad would be unbelievable.

However, we're not referring to someone with as much Madridist spirit as him, but rather to a player profile as a classic number nine. In this sense, Xabi Alonso has reportedly directly requested the signing of a specific player who could fit this role. We're talking about Roberto Firmino, former Liverpool striker who could return from Arab soccer with the white club.

This is an interesting opportunity for the player to return to the elite with the best team in history. With this, in turn, the club would try to have someone experienced and eager to shine again like Firmino.

The "new" Joselu

This player, who had some golden years under Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool a couple of years ago, could return. This comes after he made the move to Saudi Arabian soccer a couple of years ago, leaving directly from Liverpool, where he was no longer counted on.

The Brazilian has more than evident experience, being a player with many experiences and having played on magnificent stages. Champion of Europe and the Premier League, in addition to an outstanding goal-scoring instinct, he could be the signing Xabi needs.

Alonso sees it favorably

The Merengue coach knows he could be the necessary signing for what the club needs in the offensive profile. With the arrival of Franco Mastantuono on the right side and others like Rodrygo, Mbappé, and Vinícius, it's a great reinforcement. However, a starting spot is something he surely won't be able to guarantee him.

Nevertheless, for the balance the Basque is looking for, it seems to be the right decision to take the step that's needed. Therefore, if it happens, we'll gradually see if he manages to achieve what's expected from the South American profile.
