Real Madrid does not rest in its quest to remain in the elite of European football, and the next objective could involve a high-caliber reinforcement in the midfield. With the season's planning already underway, the white team is considering a significant investment to strengthen a key area of the team. The figure being discussed in the offices hovers around 100 million euros, intended for a signing that would further elevate the team's competitiveness.
The two players Xabi Alonso likes
Xabi Alonso, the coach of the Merengue team, has paid special attention to strengthening the midfield and has clear favorites. Enzo Fernández and Alexis Mac Allister top the list of candidates. Both Argentine footballers, currently in the Premier League, possess the profile sought by the coach: tactical intelligence, physical prowess, personality, and experience in major scenarios. Their style would fit the playing concept that the Madrid team aims to implement.
The operation won't be easy, as neither Chelsea nor Liverpool – clubs to which Fernández and Mac Allister belong, respectively – would be willing to easily negotiate the departure of key components from their schemes. In addition to the high economic cost, Real Madrid will have to compete with the players' own desire to continue in England, where they enjoy prominence and stability. However, the allure of wearing the white jersey might tip the scale.
Florentino Pérez has previously shown his ability to close unexpected signings at critical times, and this time would be no different. The interest is on the table, and discussions could accelerate in the coming weeks. If conditions align, the Chamartín club would be willing to make the move and add a top-notch piece to Xabi Alonso's project.
