Real Madrid Confidencial Topuria reveals the signing Real Madrid still need, Xabi Alonso has requested it
The UFC fighter, who is also a Real Madrid fan, sent a direct message to the club
It may seem like he's always training for his future fights, but Ilia Topuria also has his moments to unwind. In this case, the Spanish-Georgian fighter took advantage of his free time to play soccer with his friends. In the video, the UFC champion took the opportunity to send a direct message to Real Madrid.
Ilia Topuria posted several compilations of his plays in a soccer match with his friends. The fighter is seen scoring several goals and attempting various dribbles. "I'm not saying anything, but Real Madrid needs a finisher", he commented.
Messages from Real Madrid fans
The responses from Madridist fans to Ilia Topuria's post didn't take long. "No joke, the opposing striker scores an own goal", commented a user on "X." "Warm up, you're playing tomorrow", another Madridist replied to the fighter.
Without a doubt, it would be very interesting to see Ilia Topuria as Real Madrid's new striker. Certainly, no defender would dare to make an excessively hard tackle on the Spanish-Georgian.
Real Madrid could look for a center forward in the market
Meanwhile, Real Madrid remains focused in the United States ahead of its debut in the Club World Cup against Al-Hilal. However, Xabi Alonso is also keeping an eye on the reinforcements still to come to finally complete the squad. The Basque coach reportedly asked Florentino Pérez to sign a center forward who can offer something similar to Joselu Mato in the 2023/24 season.
According to Mario Cortegana, Real Madrid would be looking for a player to strengthen the attack. "They're looking for a footballer with good aerial ability, a veteran. A player capable of offering different alternatives to what stars like Vinicius or Mbappé already provide", he posted.
Without a doubt, this type of striker fits perfectly with the soccer vision Xabi Alonso has expressed at his previous teams. The new coach likes to have positional attacking references in the squad. In fact, striker Patrick Schick already solved many matches for the Spanish coach in the final minutes.
Xabi Alonso wants a squad with different alternatives and believes that the arrival of a striker would solve many problems.
