Real Madrid wants to sign 3 of these 5 stars to strengthen the team for the World Cup.

Real Madrid's defeat in the Clásico de Montjuïc only adds more tension to the current debates taking place in Valdebebas offices. The club's discreet performance this season has placed several key points in preparation for the upcoming seasons, prompting changes in the first team.

Especially through action in the transfer market. The executives led by Florentino Pérez are about to secure Xabi Alonso's arrival as a replacement for Carlo Ancelotti, an addition that also demands some changes in the merengue locker room. The first is already underway and will arrive shortly before the start of the Club World Cup.

Not in vain, that competition is one of the major sporting events according to the merengue entity this season. The club has leaked that it considers the Club World Cup a major competition, so it would be necessary to accelerate several of the planned additions for the next soccer season. The advances in the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold are a clear example of this trend permeating the white leadership.

In addition to Liverpool's still '66', whose signing is in the final stages, Real Madrid also wants to make the signing of two other players a reality before the Club World Cup. Xabi Alonso has sent multiple suggestions to the merengue sports management, where they are considering several names for key positions such as the center of defense.

It's more than necessary

The urgency of adding a central defender is the focus anticipated by many in this summer's transfer market in a Madridist key. So much so that the executives led by Florentino Pérez are handling up to three candidates to incorporate before the Club World Cup: Dean Huijsen, William Saliba, and Jorrel Hato. Any of these three defenders would serve the purpose of improving the squad and providing some "depth" in one of the positions most affected by injuries.

The conditions for each of these operations are firmly anchored in the economic aspect, especially for a William Saliba whose desired transfer could be around 100 million euros. The most affordable operation would be Jorrel Hato, considering that Dean Huijsen's 60 million euro release clause also seems too expensive.

In addition to the addition of a right-back and the hypothetical arrival of a central defender, the white sports management has also set its goals on the other side of the defense. The irregular performance of Fran García and Ferland Mendy this season makes the arrival of another left-back necessary, perhaps prompting the departure of some occupant of the position in the summer.

The name that stands out above other options is Álvaro Carreras. The Benfica footballer, contractually linked to Manchester United, has an exit price set at 50 million euros. It remains to be seen if the former Madrid youth player can return to the white club before the Club World Cup effectively begins this summer.
