Xabi Alonso asks for 2 signings and Florentino's response is firm: 'We'll make them'

Real Madrid suffered a heavy blow with the defeat against PSG, leaving all Madridists shaken. Xabi Alonso knew the Club World Cup wasn't going to be easy due to the little time he had to work. Even so, he has used these matches to draw his first conclusions.

These have helped the Basque to convey his ideas to the club regarding the remainder of the summer. He has requested two more signings to be able to face next season with the highest guarantees. On one hand, he keeps insisting on a reinforcement for the midfield that brings creative talent.

After what happened in the World Cup, he believes that the center-back position is also a concern. The arrival of Huijsen and Militao's recovery might not be enough for this season. The mistakes made by Rüdiger and Asencio have left a lot of uncertainty.

However, although Xabi Alonso wants these additions, Florentino doesn't see it so clearly. "We'll make them if they fit us financially and if there are departures" he reportedly replied, according to sources close to Defensa Central. So for now, there isn't any move close.

Everything depends on the departures chapter to be able to add signings

Besides Álvaro Carreas and Franco Mastantuono, no more signings are expected at Real Madrid. At least not while there aren't any departures, with several players on the way out. The club doesn't intend to add more footballers to the squad.

As we say, everything depends on players like Rodrygo, whose departure is one of the most talked about. The Brazilian would ask the club to listen to possible offers that may come for him. That will leave many millions in the coffers that they can reinvest in a new arrival.

It's also not certain if Ceballos will stay at Real Madrid for this upcoming season. Betis is once again interested in acquiring the services of the player from Utrera during this summer. In the World Cup, he hasn't managed to add many minutes, although he has had some participation.
