The signing Real Madrid hasn't ruled out and that depends on Rodrygo's future.

Real Madrid keeps fine-tuning the details of its sports planning for the 2025/26 season, with several moves underway that could be finalized soon. The arrival of Xabi Alonso to the bench and the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold are practically closed, pending official confirmation. Additionally, Fabrizio Romano confirmed the arrival of Dean Huijsen, and the club is working on signing a left-back.

According to Melchor Ruiz on "Cadena COPE," Álvaro Carreras and Alejandro Grimaldo top a list of candidates that also includes other alternatives. At Real Madrid, the names of Milos Kerkez and Théo Hernández are also mentioned, but the Benfica player is the most likely to come.

A midfielder is also being sought

However, defense will not be the only front on which Real Madrid plans to act. According to the same source, the club also plans to strengthen the midfield, although this operation would take place after the World Cup. The club prefers to wait for some internal situations to be solved before making final decisions and carefully evaluating the available alternatives.

Currently, several footballers are being considered by the sports management in their offices at Santiago Bernabéu. One of the candidates that has sparked the most interest in the sports management is Angelo Stiller, a midfielder from Stuttgart. In fact, the German is a recommendation from Toni Kroos himself.

Additionally, Real Madrid is also closely following Tijjani Reijnders, a midfielder from AC Milan, for his versatility and ability to reach the goal. Finally, the list also includes Exequiel Palacios, a familiar face to Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, where he has established himself as a key piece in the Basque coach's scheme.

The arrival of a forward depends on Rodrygo Goes

Finally, Melchor Ruiz points out that Real Madrid keeps the option open to strengthen the attack if Rodrygo's departure is finally confirmed. The club wants to be prepared for any scenario, especially given the possibility of a transfer of the Brazilian, which continues to generate speculation.

The strategy remains clear: act with caution and without haste, with Xabi Alonso playing a key role in the planning. Real Madrid advances with measured but determined steps, keeping its roadmap intact. For now, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen are done, but there are more names to come.
