UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid has defined one of its major objectives to strengthen the team: a creative midfielder to raise the level of the midfield. Xabi Alonso, the new head coach of the team, has asked the sports management for a player capable of providing composure, control, and vision to the game.
To achieve this, the white hierarchy has three top-tier names on its radar: Nicolo Barella, Enzo Fernández, and Alexis Mac Allister. However, at Valdebebas, they are aware of the complexity these operations entail in the short term.
Real Madrid is in search of a top midfielder
The alternative that excited the directors the most was Rodri Hernández from Manchester City, but that route has been completely ruled out. The Spanish midfielder has no intention of leaving the Etihad Stadium, and furthermore, the English club is not even willing to engage in talks for his transfer.
Therefore, Real Madrid has had to turn to other options, although none are simple or economical. Both Barella, Enzo Fernández, and Mac Allister are key players in their respective teams with long-term contracts, which forces considerations of three-digit figures to secure them.
Regarding Barella, for whom Inter could be more open to negotiating, the cost would be slightly lower compared to players from the Premier League. Nevertheless, Real Madrid understands that any move will need time to mature, possibly for the 2025 transfer window.
Meanwhile, the club's strategy revolves around solidifying the current midfield squad and carefully exploring the market, waiting for any of these names to become more accessible in the future. For now, Xabi Alonso maintains his clear request: he needs a playmaker in the central midfield to complete his project.
