The new signing that Xabi Alonso demanded from Real Madrid to win the Champions

Xabi Alonso has made it clear what his new requirement is as the next coach of Real Madrid: to incorporate a midfielder with the ability to organize play and make a difference from the creation. The Basque coach has conveyed to the white club's board that, looking towards the summer, the absolute priority should be to add a player with that profile, capable of complementing a midfield that already has imposing and attacking physical players but needs more composure and creativity with the ball.

From the executive offices of the Santiago Bernabéu, they have already taken note of this request, which not only meets a tactical need but also reflects a style of play that Alonso wants to instill in the team. The current Bayer Leverkusen coach wants his new team to combine the power of Tchouaméni, Camavinga, and Valverde with a purer link that can bring the ball closer to Bellingham in better conditions.

Xabi Alonso wants a creative midfielder

In that sense, several names have started to revolve around the club. Florian Wirtz is the top target, although his departure from Leverkusen seems difficult due to the high financial demands of the German club. Enzo Fernández, in a delicate situation at Chelsea, is also on the agenda, as well as Angelo Stiller, a revelation from Stuttgart with a more accessible profile.

What is clear is that Madrid will seek to strengthen the midfield with a player who does not duplicate functions but brings something different: vision, final pass, and game reading. In a team full of muscle and intensity, Xabi Alonso aims to add a thoughtful player who can balance the scales and turn possession into offensive advantage. The market has opened for Madrid, and it does so under the signature of their new leader on the bench.
