Real Madrid, pending the Club World Cup, has had a season that has left much to be desired. The team didn't go far in the Champions League and has seen FC Barcelona win LaLiga and the Copa del Rey. For this reason, Florentino Pérez is convinced that he must make a series of moves to strengthen the squad.

Xabi Alonso will be the successor to Carlo Ancelotti and the one to lead the new project of the white team. The San Sebastian native generates excitement and enthusiasm. He arrives on June 1, and his first contact will be in the Club World Cup. 

Alongside him will also be Dean Huijsen, who has already been made official, Álvaro Carreras and Trent Alexander-Arnold. These two will be the next to be announced. This way, the merengue team already shows its intention to strengthen the defensive line, which has been one of the problems this season. 

However, the sports management is also looking further. The top officials believe that the midfield needs to be strengthened, regardless of what might happen with Ceballos or Modric. One name that has been on the radar has been Martín Zubimendi, but he seems to be heading to Arsenal. 

The chosen one to improve Madrid's midfield could be Angelo Stiller, who plays for Stuttgart. The German has the approval of Toni Kroos, who would have recommended his signing to Florentino Pérez. Authorized voices from Valdebebas state that they have been following him for some time.

He would be delighted

The player's approval exists. He, despite having an active contract, would like to embark on a new stage in his sports career. Moreover, he would like to do it at Bernabéu, as he considers it would be the biggest leap he could make.

Therefore, his arrival can't be ruled out at all. There are important people within Real Madrid who speak quite well of him, and an important factor is that Kroos would bet on his signing. Florentino values very well everything the former footballer says, and this time, it is feasible to think that he mightlisten to him.
