Real Madrid's new gem is ready: Florentino Pérez doesn't have to sign anyone

The Basque coach knows that what he has at home is of good quality

Real Madrid is still enjoying the thrashing of Kairat Almaty, a 5-0 win (5-0) that helped restore confidence after the bitter taste left by the classic.

Xabi Alonso demanded intensity from the first minute, and his players replied with a convincing performance in Europe.

The victory brings calm back to the locker room, although it doesn't eliminate doubts about the planning of the forward line.

The Basque coach knows that he has to manage roles well to keep everyone's motivation high.

White radar and the weight of signings

In Bernabéu's offices, they keep monitoring possible market opportunities. One of the names coming up again is Harry Kane.

The Englishman, because of his experience and goal-scoring instinct, remains on the list, although this isn't an easy or cheap signing.

Florentino Pérez is attracted by the idea of adding another world-class reference to the attack, but reality sets other priorities.

Xabi Alonso, aware of what he has at his disposal, insists that not everything depends on signing from outside.

The academy player pushing through

Alongside the international radar, there's a player who's already convincing in Valdebebas and who especially appeals to the coach.

This is Gonzalo García, who has gradually shown that he can be an important piece in the club's immediate future.

The academy player already knows what it's like to start as a starter this season and keeps the coaching staff's confidence intact.

Xabi Alonso values his work in every training session and believes it's only a matter of time before he truly breaks out.

A bet for the present and the future

In the thrashing of Kairat Almaty, he got minutes and made it clear that he can bring freshness and boldness to an attack full of stars.

The coach is clear: in another team, he'd be an undisputed starter and would make a difference right away.

That certainty leads him to give him occasional opportunities to keep him motivated and prepared for what's coming.

Gonzalo García represents the perfect balance between patience and ambition, and the club knows this very well.

Xabi Alonso's message

The coach has spoken with the young forward to make him see that he'll get minutes progressively.

The competition is huge with Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Vinícius, but his status as a homegrown player is a plus to consider.

Real Madrid wants to keep betting on homegrown talent, while weighing the option of strengthening with major signings.

The lesson from the European victory is clear: you don't always have to look outside your squad to find solutions. Sometimes they're much closer than they seem.
