Real Madrid started their campaign on Tuesday evening, with a less than exciting 1-0 win over Osasuna. The most exciting part of the competition was perhaps the introduction of Franco Mastantuono, who had an impact in his first performance.
After a gloomy season where they had not won silverware, apart from the UEFA Super Cup and Fifa Intercontinental Cup, Los Blancos has recovered their team and have become a lot younger. The second spell of Carlo Ancelotti (66) at the club would end after four years, with Xabi Alonso (43) replacing his former manager in Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Ze hebben hun backline gerenoveerd met de signeersessies van Dean Huijsen die zich bij Bournemouth hebben aangesloten voor € 60 miljoen, terwijl ze ook € 10 miljoen betaalden om Trent Alexander-Arnold uit Liverpool te ondertekenen uit Liverpool om deel te nemen aan de FIFA Club Wereldbeker, nadat hij eerder had afgesproken om een ​​​​vrije overdracht te ondertekenen en Spaans te ondertekenen, en Spaans, Life Back Alvaro Carreras of Beniska from Beniska for a Benica for an Benica for the Benica for a Benica for a Benica by Beniska.
Their youngest recruit was only 18 years old: Franco Mastantuono. Los Blancos paid € 45 million to sign the Argentinian Wonderkid van Riverplaat to a six-year contract, which received the number 30 shirt, just as he had worn on the river. Although he was immediately registered with Real Madrid Castilla to free up a place in the first team for a potential late move, the young attacker is already training with and for all purposes, part of the senior team.
Real Madrid has enabled himself to make a late summer transfer, but with a little more than a week in the window, time is getting up for them to do that. It raises the question Op-Wie should Real Madrid consider for a possible arrival of the deadline day?
After having built up a reconstruction in every single defensive position, apart from goalkeeper, where Alexander-Arnold (26) replaces Lucas Vazquez (34) Right-back, and Huijsen (20) Jesus Vallejo (28) replaces in central defense. It seemed that Carreras (22) would take the place of Ferland Mendy (30) on the left, but so far the Frenchman seems to stay in Madrid, where he has a contract until 2028. However, there is reason to believe that they could be a new upgrade at Center-Back.
Both Eer Militão (27) and David Alaba (33) have spent more time at the treatment table than on the field in the past seasons, while Antonio Rudiger starts watching his 32 years old with a number of high -profile errors in recent competitions. While Alaba and Rudiger are expected to leave after the end of their contracts in 2026, Real Madrid is said to be aimed at the arrival of Liverpool Center Back Ibrahima Konate, who has taken on the last months of his deal. It is likely that Real will wait and another controversial transfer after Kylian Mbappe will try, but a shaky start of the season or an early injury crisis can seduce their hand and see a late offer for Konate.
However, there is a good chance that an unexpected signature will be in midfield instead of defense. Los Blancos is short -handed after the departure of the legendary midfielder Luka Modric and the absence of Jude Bellingham, who will be out until October after a shoulder operation. Eduardo Camavinga, who missed 33 competitions in 2024/25 due to an injury, recovers from an ankle rejecting, which means that the only options of Alonso in midfield for the opening matches Mastantuono, Arda Guler, Dani Ceballos, Brahim Diaz and Aurelien Tchouamameni are.
It is certainly a strong basis for an argument that Los Blancos would have to invest again in the middle of the field, to see how much it is last season without a kros, and with Modric on the purchase. Alonso is also in favor of the arrival of a midfielder as reports, but Los Blancos has already moved for Mastantuono, Carreras and Huijsen, players Alonso wanted to win the club.
