Premier League
Real Madrid has decided to halt any new signings in this market, at least for now. Following the arrivals of talents like Huijsen, Alexander-Arnold, Mastantuono, and Carreras, the club believes that the bulk of the planning is covered. However, Xabi Alonso continues to consider reinforcing two key positions: the center of defense and the central midfielder.
According to sources close to the club, the Basque coach only has one name in mind to raise the level of the midfield following the departures of Toni Kroos and the highly likely exit of Luka Modric: Rodrigo Hernández. As reported by Cadena SER, for Xabi, the Manchester City player embodies the ideal profile to lead the engine room of the white team, both tactically and physically. Nevertheless, the scenario for his arrival is practically utopian.
It's a completely impossible signing
The English team is not considering loosening the grip on one of its key players, and from the top of Real Madrid, there is no willingness to make an astronomical outlay, as demanded by Pep Guardiola's club. Florentino Pérez does not see it as logical to spend over 100 million euros on a player if it's not a truly unique opportunity, and currently, he sees no reason to break that line.
Xabi has lost confidence in Dani Ceballos and needs a reliable central midfielder, but he knows he will have to wait. Without a compelling alternative emerging or Rodri becoming attainable (something that seems impossible today), there will be no moves.
Real Madrid remains vigilant in the market but will not force any transactions. Only an unexpected turn of events could pave the way for the signing of the midfielder that Xabi desires above all others.
