Xabi Alonso has begun to set the course for the new project of Real Madrid, and one of his priorities is clear: he wants a center forward with presence and the ability to decide games from the box. The Basque coach, who will assume the position next season, is looking for a specific profile to complement Vinícius and Mbappé, and among the options he has proposed to the white club's board, an unexpected name has emerged: Roberto Firmino.

The Brazilian forward, currently at Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, would be willing to change scenery after just one season in Arab football. In fact, it is not ruled out that he may terminate his contract to become a free agent, greatly facilitating his move to any European club. Firmino, 33, remains a player with experience, hierarchy, and notable ability to integrate into collective systems, qualities that Alonso deems essential for his style of play.

Roberto Firmino, the new desire of Real Madrid

Although other names have been considered, such as Ante Budimir, Firmino's profile fits better with what Xabi Alonso is seeking: a forward who not only finishes plays but can also link up, create space, and generate advantages for the wingers. His stats this season —12 goals and 10 assists in 31 matches— show that he remains productive, especially in favorable tactical contexts.

Real Madrid, already boasting a potent attack with Mbappé and Vinícius, sees adding a player of these characteristics favorably. Firmino wouldn't arrive as an undisputed starter but as a valuable asset for specific phases of the game or demanding scenarios. The final decision will depend on the transfer conditions and the Brazilian's contractual situation.
