The 3 signings that Xabi Alonso will demand from Real Madrid

Xabi Alonso is already outlining his roadmap if he ultimately becomes the new coach of Real Madrid. The former Real Madrid player, who has had a historic season with Bayer Leverkusen, would have clear demands to accept the challenge of leading the merengue project: strengthening three key positions.

According to sources close to the club, Alonso would ask for a center-back, a left-back, and a central midfielder as pillars of his new team, opting for very specific profiles that fit into his tactical model.

Xabi Alonso has a plan for the summer transfer market

-A left-back: The first major move would be to reinforce the left side of the defense with the return of Miguel Gutiérrez, currently at Girona. Trained in Valdebebas, his versatility and offensive projection make him a strategic option for the wing-back system that Xabi has enhanced in Germany. Real Madrid maintains a reasonable buy-back option, facilitating an operation that is deemed a priority.

-A central midfielder: In midfield, Alonso would welcome the addition of Martín Zubimendi. The central midfielder from Real Sociedad is a player of balance, tactical awareness, and clean ball distribution. With a release clause of 60 million euros, his signing would represent a commitment to the continuity of the style but with a more positional profile than the current midfielders of the team.

-A center-back: Finally, in central defense, the name that most appeals to Xabi is Dean Huijsen, a young prospect who has excelled this season. His ability to play out from the back and his stature align with the idea of reinforcing a backline that could undergo significant changes this summer.

The Alonso operation is not yet official, but its planning is already taking shape. If he takes the reins at the Bernabéu, he will do so with a clear vision: rejuvenating the team without sacrificing competitiveness.
