Aurélien Tchouaméni has already told Eduardo Camavinga: 'he's the most anticipated signing'

These are good times to be a French midfielder at Real Madrid. Aurelien Tchouameni has fully established himself in Xabi Alonso's starting eleven and is an essential piece in the white team's setup. Playing as a defensive midfielder, his presence is non-negotiable and highly beneficial for the doctrine the Basque coach believes in.

Meanwhile, Eduardo Camavinga has had a complicated start to the season, with some injuries that have prevented him from having too much prominence. When he recovered, he already had three players ahead of him in Xabi's trust hierarchy, but little by little, minute by minute, he has been improving his performances. With that, we will see him more and more on the field.

Besides these two Frenchmen, Fede Valverde is also very established, being one of the most relevant players, without a doubt. He can also move to right back and is Camavinga's main competitor for the number 6 position.

But Xabi Alonso has a special fondness for the attacking midfielder, that player who must be decisive as he understands soccer. That role is currently being played by Arda Güler, and he is doing it outstandingly, being the season's great revelation at Real Madrid. The Turkish player is excelling in this first stretch of the season and it even seems unthinkable for Xabi to field a starting eleven without him ahead of the double pivot.

However, this is Arda's first year as a starter in the elite of world soccer and he is still a somewhat risky bet. In that sense, according to Defensa Central, Real Madrid is seriously considering going to the transfer market to find another footballer with these characteristics.

The top choice is none other than Vitinha, the most renowned attacking midfielder at the moment. The Portuguese player has been performing at a "world-class" level for several years now at Paris Saint-Germain and is Xabi Alonso's great desire for his engine room. This season, he already has 3 goals and 8 assists in 20 matches.

Vitinha, the next superstar

For now, however, within Real Madrid, they are not considering going to the transfer market. Vitinha is only the favorite option in case Arda Güler reaches some point of stagnation. A pipe dream for which they are not willing to break the bank and for which they will be alert in case a miraculous market opportunity arises. The same policy that was followed with Kylian Mbappé, in fact.

It doesn't seem at all like an easy move, since Vitinha has a contract at PSG until 2029 and is one of the franchise players of the French capital's team. Even so, when asked, Xabi Alonso will keep insisting that Vitinha would be his desired signing.

For now, he is content with what he has. This is what he said at a press conference a few days ago: "With the squad we have, we're going to go all the way. We are convinced that we are on an upward trajectory, that we can play well and compete at a consistent level. We have a complete squad, with different qualities."
