Xabi Alonso is already outlining his project at Real Madrid even before sitting on the bench at the Santiago Bernabéu, and his first major request to the white club includes three names with whom he has conquered Germany: Jonathan Tah, Florian Wirtz, and Piero Hincapié. The current Bayer Leverkusen coach, with the Bundesliga title in his pocket, wants to bring to the Spanish capital the core that has been key in his successful scheme.
The priority in defense is to reinforce the central axis. With uncertainty surrounding David Alaba and the almost certain departure of Jesús Vallejo, Xabi believes that both Tah and Hincapié offer guarantees and versatility. The first, experienced and leader of the German team, is coming to the end of his contract and could arrive as a free agent, which would facilitate the operation. The second, young, left-footed, and versatile, is valued for his ability to play as a central or left-back, a quality that is scarce in the current Madrid squad.
The 3 signings Xabi Alonso asked for at Real Madrid
On the offensive side, Alonso has set his sights on Florian Wirtz. At 22 years old, the German international is one of the most sought-after talents on the continent. The Basque coach wants him as a key piece to invigorate the attacking midfield, especially if the departures of Rodrygo or Brahim are finalized. His arrival would imply a significant investment, but his creative profile, vision, and ability to break lines fit with the style of play that Xabi aims to implement.
The white board is now analyzing if it is willing to meet the ambitions of the Basque coach, who wants to shape a renewed Madrid without losing competitiveness. The summer transfer market appears as the ideal scenario to kick off this new phase.
