Who is Alonso looking for at Real Madrid, and why?
Xabi Alonso’s first campaign as Real Madrid coach is over. He had to return from the semi-finals after traveling to the United States for the Club World Cup trophy. However, this one-month tournament is not the biggest challenge for Alonso, but La Liga. In the past decade, Real Madrid has won less La Liga trophies than the Champions League. Alonso, who replaced Carlo Ancelotti, will have to pay special attention to this area.
Alonso, who took over as Real coach for three seasons, is now organizing the team for the 2025-26 season. Not only for success, but also to fill some of the gaps created in the team, he needs several purchases from this transfer market. For this, Alonso has kept a bird’s eye view of several players.
Who is Alonso looking for at Real Madrid, and why?
Real Madrid has so far added three players to the team before the new season. The first is Dean Hausen. The 20-year-old Bournemouth centerback has been taken on a five-year contract. Another English Premier League team, Liverpool, has brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold. The two have already joined the team. Although they have not joined, a contract has already been signed with River Plate’s 17-year-old Argentine playmaker Franco Mastantuono. Spanish media say that Alonso still wants to bring in at least three new players. In this case, Alvaro Carreras, who has been under the club’s attention for a long time, is a big possibility. The 22-year-old Spanish left-back was once in Real’s age group. From there, he has been playing for Benfica for two seasons, alternating between Manchester United’s age group and Granada.
