The duo of veterans David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger arrived at the end of the contract in June 2026, the first being assured of leaving.
The management of Real Madrid is open to an extension of one year for Rudiger, in accordance with the policy concerning players over 30, but this is far from acquired due to its history of injuries.
The return in the form of Eder Militao was an asset, as is the good shape of the new recruits Dean Huijsen and Raul Asencio in Madrid.
Alonso seeks to recruit two new players to fill the void left by Alaba, and potentially rudiger, but he is looking for good deals.
After recruiting Rodiger for free from Chelsea in 2022, Real Madrid recruited several free players or on more advantageous contract conditions, including Kylian Mbappé and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Ibrahima Konaté and Marc Guehi, two Premier League players, are on the list of Alonso targets. Their contracts in Liverpool and Crystal Palace expire in June. The latter would prefer a transfer to Madrid rather than Anfield.
Dayot Upamecano to Madrid?
According to the latest information from Marca, the defender of Bayern Munich Dayot Upamecano is now in the Alonso crosshairs, who plans to leave Bavaria next summer as a free agent.

The 26 -year -old was expected for a transfer to Madrid before joining Bayern Munich from the RB Leipzig in 2021, but the question is again topical, because he plans a future far from Germany.
Alonso must now choose between the options available to him on the transfer market, and the situation seems positive for Real Madrid.
Waiting for the end of contracts has become a common tactic for key targets, and the club is ready to use it again in 2026.
