Carlo Ancelotti changed Carvajal for Lucas, Militao for Asencio and Marcelo for Fran García. Florentino did not scratch his pocket and the team has vulgarized behind in the last two seasons. Not a reproach to the Carletto Club, which was dedicated to patching the problem, but the results have returned to reality to a Real Madrid that has fallen to each team of a certain draft that has found in front in recent months: the winnings of Barça, the defeat at home with Milan, the review in London before the arsenal, the stumbling block in Anfield, the recurring defeats in league …
Lenny Yoro could have been the solution to white problems, but the young French center ended at Manchester United after the ''red devils’ They pay a price that was off the market. The orders of Florentino to José Ángel Sánchez and Juni Calafat were very concise: free players not to pay transfers. This is how Antonio Rudiger arrived and David Alaba also did. And this will do so in a few days Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool.
However, Xabi was clear when he sat with the general director of Real Madrid demanding the arrival of two sides, one by lane, a central and a midfielder. The right-hander was already tied (Alexander-Arnold), the central appeared almost by surprise (Dean Huijsen) and Madrid did not hesitate to turn this 20-year central into the most expensive defense of its history by paying the 58 million euros of its clause.
50 million to recover a canterano
The left -handed lane will be Álvaro Carreras, a 22 -year -old sort raised in Valdebebas who left for Manchester United and for which Real Madrid will now pay 50 million to pay for its return. The operation is not exactly brilliant. The whites, who have a good relationship with Benfica, have tried to reduce it in all possible ways, but they have not been form and will give those 50 million of those who have not moved the Lusos, nor offering them players of the quoted white quarry. The announcement of this signing is imminent, as is that of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Madrid will therefore disburse 108 million euros for two defenses that are not yet consolidated, As much as they are projects of great players. Being also one of them a canterano who let him go to look for life and to whom you have to repeat now. But Grimaldo, who liked Xabi, “was too culé to play in Madrid,” according to club sources. This expense confirms that Florentino has given a helm by leaving the policy of 'austericide' to shield the team and cope with Barça de Flick.
Strengthening the center of the field has been the second task. Whites will recover Nico Paz, an operation for which 8 million should pay. However, Cesc, a technician of the Italians, is combing the Madrid quarry in search of some decolchant talent, which could further lower the arrival of the Hispanic-Argentine to reinforce the white midfield. Next to him, Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga and Arda, who will inherit the role of Modric, will form the Madrid core next year.
Stiller, the Kroos Protected
For the midfielder Xabi has asked for someone contrasted. There are not many and they are all tied: the Argentines Enzo Fernández and Alexis Macallister, the Spaniards Rodri and Martín Zubimendi, the German Joshua Kimmich, the Portuguese Vitinha … so who has appeared on stage winning many integers is the German Angelo Stiller, Internacional Alemán del Stuttgart that is represented by The 'Sports 360' agency, which ends up being incorporated as a partner Toni Kroos, who has also recommended it to Madrid to take his place in the White Medulla. He has no clause, so his arrival is subject to a negotiation with Stuttgart.
The White Club wanted someone with more hierarchy, a player with gallons in a first level club. But Xabi is perfectly monitored to Stiller after his two seasons in the Bundesliga. A player who knows the trade perfectly, that has grown a lot in the German league and that begins to appear as an international with the team. So it seems that it is Alonso's taste, whose priority has been to reinforce the spine with defenses and a midfielder. Up has not asked for anything, and although he seduced him to bring Wirtz, He is satisfied with Bellingham, Vinícius, Mbappé and A Rodrygo who continues with his future in the area.
