Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid faces a crucial week with the return of LaLiga, where they will have to visit the always challenging Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena. While the immediate focus is on sporting performance, the board is already planning the future of the squad, especially in a key area: the midfield.

Florentino Pérez, aware of the constant demand of leading the most successful club in the world, insists that the priority is to maintain a competitive and ambitious group. His recent statements, filled with pride for the achievements of the last seasons, make it clear that there is no rest at Chamartín. And in this strategy, the role of Juni Calafat, the man in charge of scouting talents to wear the white shirt, is once again crucial.

Javi Guerra, one of the best midfielders in Spain

According to sources at DefensaCentral, among the names on the agenda stands out Javi Guerra, one of the great promises of Spanish football and a key player in Valencia CF's system. The midfielder, who has shown a leap in quality in recent months, fits perfectly into the profile that Real Madrid is looking for: youth, technical quality, and room for growth.

The intention of the Madrid club is to closely monitor his progress throughout the season. The signing won't be immediate; instead, a medium-term plan is being developed that could materialize in 2026. Everything will depend on two factors: the player's performance at Mestalla and the situation of Dani Ceballos, whose future at the club remains uncertain.

One of the most attractive aspects at Chamartín is the possibility of continuing the policy of "Spanishizing" the squad. This summer, young talents like Gonzalo García, Raúl Asencio, Dean Huijsen, and Álvaro Carreras were already integrated, and Guerra would be another step in that direction. His arrival would reinforce the national identity of the team without giving up top-level talent.

Regarding the operation, the numbers are clear: Javi Guerra renewed with Valencia until 2029 with a release clause of 100 million euros. However, the delicate economic situation of the Valencia club opens the door to a more realistic negotiation. Initial estimates place the transfer cost at around half of that figure, a substantial but manageable amount for a club with the financial capacity of Real Madrid.

Javi Guerra, Real Madrid's under-the-radar signing

The interest is already active and not hidden. The club wants to ensure the generational turnover in midfield, where Luka Modric and Toni Kroos have started to move away from the Santiago Bernabéu. Bellingham's emergence has been an impetus, but Florentino Pérez knows that success lies in continuing to add young talent.

In this context, Javi Guerra appears as one of the most solid future targets. His vision of the game, ability to arrive from deep positions, and tactical discipline make him a very attractive profile. If he maintains his progress, the decision to go for him will only be a matter of time.

Real Madrid does not want to improvise and prefers to plan well in advance. The monitoring is already underway, and everything indicates that the Valencian player will be one of the most talked-about names in the upcoming transfer windows. The future of the white midfield could largely depend on the feet of this young talent born in Gilet.
