The least we can say is that Real Madrid quickly turned the page for this 2024/2025 season very complicated. Beaten in La Liga by FC Barcelona and out of the Champions League from the quarter -finals, the Merengue club was very responsive to start a new cycle and best prepare for the next club world. Xabi Alonso succeeded Carlo Ancelotti, Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) was recruited for € 50 million, while the arrivals of Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) and Alvaro Carreras (Benfica) are announced as imminent.
“Our duty is to always try to progress. This is why, since I am coach of Real Madrid, I want to communicate and share this vision with the club in order to define together the path to follow. The workforce is excellent and I want to start working with them. I am here with the desire to work in a team and to progress. (…) Everything has been agreed and discussed. There are things that concern me and others that do not concern me, but this is the limit. I officially work to make decisions “Held a Xabi Alonso visibly satisfied with the work of his club yesterday.
A recruit at € 8 million
And it's not over. Marca assures us this Tuesday morning that Casa Blanca did have decided to afford a fourth recruit. As mentioned in recent weeks, it is Nico Paz, the young 20 -year -old midfielder sold last summer in Como. The Madrid daily indicates that the Merengues are close to bringing back their old protégé. An inexpensive reinforcement since Madrid will only pay the € 8 million corresponding to the buyout clause fixed by the whites in 2024, when sending it to Italy.
A great deal knowing that the other interested training courses were forced to pay between 40 and 50 M €. The player would immediately integrate the workforce of Xabi Alonso, because Real Madrid wants it for the next Club World Cup which will take place in the United States. Revealed under the orders of Cesc Fabregas (6 goals, 9 assists in 35 Serie A matches), the Argentinian will strengthen a suffering Merengue midfield, and who saw his two legends Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in one year.
