Real Madrid Confidencial Ramón de Mon announces Xabi Alonso's first signing, express request and it's imminent
The first major operation that Xabi Alonso has finalized has been revealed by Ramón de Mon
With Xabi Alonso's arrival, many significant changes are expected at Real Madrid. While the focus is on the squad, Xabi has also shown concern for his coaching staff. This has led him to secure his first major signing at Real Madrid, being an extremely important element and an old acquaintance for the coach from Tolosa.
Ramón Álvarez de Mon, a collaborator of Defensa Central's YouTube channel, has revealed that Beñat Labaien has been signed by Real Madrid. His incorporation into the team is expected to take place during the next week to be under Xabi's orders. A signing that, of course, is a direct request made by Xabi to Real Madrid.
Coinciding with Xabi Alonso during his time at Real Sociedad, Beñat will join the coach's technical staff. A signing with which Xabi clearly seeks to have his most trusted people to help him in this new stage at the helm of Real Madrid.
Xabi Alonso's reinforcement
After the signing of Dean Huijsen, everyone was expecting Real Madrid's next transfer. With players like Álvaro Carreras, Miguel Gutiérrez, or Nico Paz in the club's orbit, the signing of Beñat Labaien has been a surprise. While this wasn't the signing that was desired, it remains important for Xabi Alonso and his technical team.
Although Xabi hasn't arrived at Valdebebas yet, this transfer makes it clear that he is getting everything ready for his desired return. Looking to have everything in order to start working immediately, Beñat will be key to the project Xabi has in hand.
Beñat's arrival, which will be during the next week, has also revealed the date when Xabi could return to Valdebebas. Even so, and with no more information revealed by Ramón de Mon, we must wait for the desired official announcement of Xabi's arrival.
Xabi's plan
After having made history with Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso plans to do the same with Madrid. Although reinforcing the squad is clearly important, Xabi's signing for his technical staff reflects how prepared he seeks to be.
