One year after the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid understood that it had partially missed during the last summer transfer window. Not on the quality of the French international but on the fact that the non-replacement of a retired Toni Kroos had greatly weighed on the disappointing season just finished. Carlo Ancelotti now replaced by Xabi Alonso as coach, it's a new cycle that begins in Madrid. With its share of potential arrivals.
Because Real wants to renew generations. This is particularly why he chose not to extend Luka Modric. On the arrival side, the defense is a priority. Dean Huijsen signed two weeks ago and this Friday, it was Trent Alexander-Arnold who officially joined Merengue ranks. But Florentino Perez and Xabi Alonso do not want to stop there.
In Spain, AS has drew up the targets of the new Madrid coach. Still in defense, Benfica's left left, Alvaro Carreras, pleases Xabi Alonso. The player is not a stranger since he was one of the young people from Real Madrid before leaving for Manchester United and spinning in Benfica. His release clause is fifty million euros and United keeps priority. The Red Devils can recover it against eighteen million euros. The media specifies, however, that Carreras wants to go to Madrid and that a verbal agreement would exist.
Xabi Alonso always targets Florian Wirtz
On the midfield side, the name of Nico Paz is cited. A player with an offensive profile, he signed a great season with Côme en Serie A. It would be worth eight million euros. In parallel, and despite the big advance that Liverpool seems to have on the file, Xabi Alonso does not let go of his former player in Bayer Leverkusen, Florian Wirtz. As long as no agreement is formalized between the Reds and the German, Madrid will keep hope.
After ASChelsea, Enzo Fernandez, is also in Real's little papers. No formal contact, however, and above all a prohibitive price of 120 million euros. But recruiters remain attentive. The latter also look at a player who interests PSG: Franco Mastanuono. River Plate's attacking midfielder is only seventeen years old but would already be worth forty-five million euros. However, the file remains complicated for Madrid. Finally, Ange Stiller (Stuttgart) is the last player who would appeal to Xabi Alonso.
