This is the template that Xabi Alonso has in mind for Real Madrid for the upcoming season, a project that aims for versatility and depth in every line. The coach's vision revolves around a structured team, with varied profiles, alternatives for each position, and the ability to adjust the system according to the needs of the opponent or the moment of the match. With some signings already secured and others to be finalized, the white directive is executing the plan designed to strengthen every sector of the field.
Defense will be the cornerstone of the new Madrid, with a line of three central defenders that will provide security and clean ball distribution from the back. Dean Huijsen and Antonio Rüdiger will alternate on the left, while Tchouaméni and Militao will share the role of free central, with Ibrahima Konaté— one of Xabi's requests— joining on the right. As a backup, Asencio appears, adding depth in that position.
The full-backs will bring dynamism with Álvaro Carreras and Ferland Mendy on the left, while Trent Alexander-Arnold will compete with Dani Carvajal on the right. Both flanks will be crucial both defensively and in offensive projection.
A new midfield at Real Madrid?
In midfield, Xabi Alonso plans to position Enzo Fernández, the main target for this summer, as the organizing axis in front of the defense. Alongside him, Federico Valverde or Arda Güler will provide balance and support from the second line. This structure will sustain the double attacking midfielder with Jude Bellingham and Franco Mastantuono, the latter a newly signed young promise promising talent and flair in the final third.
In attack, the responsibility of the striker will be Kylian Mbappé's, with Gonzalo and Endrick as alternatives. On the wings, Vinicius Jr. will feature prominently on the left, with the expectation of adding another winger for whom around 50 million euros will be allocated. This piece will be crucial to maintain internal competition and provide offensive variations.
This is Xabi Alonso's dream squad at Real Madrid

Real Madrid also considers departures
Before finalizing these additions, the club aims to free up space with several significant departures. Dani Ceballos, Brahim, Rodrygo, Fran García, Alaba, and even Camavinga are on the transfer list. The sales, in addition to generating income, will allow the release of salaries and open the way for the signings requested by the coach.
This would complete a balanced, deep, and tactically flexible squad, ready to face the demanding upcoming season with the aim of competing for all titles.
