The midfielder that Xabi Alonso has DEMANDED from Real Madrid

Real Madrid has not closed the chapter on transfers and continues to analyze possible new additions in detail. Despite the message of calm that the sports management has tried to convey, there are certain positions that Xabi Alonso considers key to strengthen, and one of them is the midfield.

According to DefensaCentral, the coach has specifically requested the incorporation of Nicolò Barella, the current player of Inter Milan. The Italian international is a profile that fits perfectly with the playing style of the Basque coach: a midfielder with quality, vision, and the ability to set the pace of matches. In Valdebebas, he is seen as the ideal complement to enhance the team's midfield.

Inter Needs to Generate Money

In turn, Inter is willing to negotiate as they need to make money this summer. The nerazzurri have valued Barella between 60 and 65 million euros, a figure that, although high, is considered reasonable in the current market for a player of his caliber and experience. However, the white club will try to lower the deal, as they have done in previous negotiations.

Xabi Alonso is very confident in the squad he will have at his disposal for the new season, although he is aware that a pure playmaker is still missing. The coach wants to have all his pieces as soon as possible, as the start of the league has not been postponed, and the team will return to training on August 4th.

With the season about to start, Barella emerges as the highly desired player by Alonso to round off a project that aims to compete for all titles. Real Madrid is carefully studying the move.
