This first week of June marks the start of a new era in Madrid. Xabi Alonso will direct his first training with his new club, with a view to this 2025 club World Cup that the Merengues absolutely want to win. With new faces in the workforce, since Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold should take their first steps under the white tunic of the capital's club during this competition. And by the start of the tournament for Madrid on June 18 against Al Hilal, new players are still expected.
There is a sector that Xabi Alonso wishes to strengthen: the midfielder. A position he knows well, and it is precisely a profile similar to the one he had as a player that the Basque wishes to offer himself, just to make Toni Kroos and Luka Modric forget, who will leave the club this summer. Rodri (Manchester City) is everyone's favorite in Madrid, but it is a fairly complicated track for obvious reasons. Martin ZubiMendi was also much appreciated, but everything indicates that the Real Sociedad metronome will spin at Arsenal.
Stiller will be “given” in 2026
Angelo Stiller is as follows on the list. As indicated ASReal Madrid loves it, and the interest is reciprocal. There was no offer or official contacts still, whether with Stuttgart or with the entourage of the player, but everything seems only a matter of time. Above all, Real Madrid already knows the requirements of the German club to let go of its player: 50 million euros. A consequent amount, but far from being abusive in view of the prices charged on the market recently.
Better still, the player has a clause to leave the club in 2026 for only 36 million euros, even if Stuttgart can blow it up by paying 2 million euros to the player. Anyway, Real Madrid does not seem to want to wait until next summer to enlist a midfielder, and if Angelo Stiller is the elected official, it will be for this summer. Stuttgart, who had paid only 5.5 million euros to recruit him in 2023, would make a great added value on his side.
