Real Madrid has now paused his transfer activity. After the signs of Huijsen, Alexander-Arnold, Mastantuono and Carreras, the list of viable goals shrinks.
Xabi Alonso wants to add a midfielder and a middle back, but those reinforcements will only arrive if the club identifies a strong market chance.
According to Cadena Ser, Florentino Pérez does not intend to spend € 100 million on a midfielder in the current market. As journalist Antón Meana reports:
“Real Madrid puts the search for a 'number 5' and a medium back. Florentino is adequate that he will not pay € 100 million for a midfielder who is not worth it. The only exception would be Rodri his-if he was available, Madrid would go for him. For the time being convinces nothing on the market.”
After the club World Cup and the loss for PSG, Xabi made it clear that he has little faith in Dani Ceballos. Because Modric and Kroos left last year, it is likely that Madrid will move to a midfielder at some point – but only if the right opportunity occurs. Rodri remains the ideal target.
Although the Spaniard is the number one target for Madrid, many names have surfaced in the media, including Alexis Mac Allister, Angelo Stiller, Enzo Fernández and Martín Zubimendi, who eventually made the long -awaited step to Arsenal in the Premier League.
