Regretful, Xabi Alonso now does demand his signing: 'it's what we need'

Real Madrid's defeat against Liverpool was an unexpected blow for the white locker room, especially for Xabi Alonso. He left Anfield deeply affected by the image the team showed. At no point did it seem like they could secure the victory.

However, as in life, Real Madrid's playmaker knows that one can learn from mistakes; that's what he has done. Xabi Alonso has decided that he must urgently change something. The change involves strengthening the team's midfield.

Xabi Alonso requests a much needed signing

Liverpool showed overwhelming superiority in the midfield area against Real Madrid. Tchouaméni was overwhelmed with work and couldn't find enough support. Bellingham was running from side to side without purpose and Güler barely connected with Mbappé.

The three Real Madrid midfielders, expected to control the tempo of the match, left many doubts with their performance. Xabi Alonso has analyzed it and believes that this deficit is what needs to be corrected. He won't hesitate if he has to admit his own mistakes to fix the situation.

Looking ahead to next season, Xabi Alonso has decided to backtrack on one of his previous decisions. Yes, because he has determined that Nico Paz must play for Real Madrid no matter what. A few months ago, he couldn't find a place for him and chose to allow his departure to Como.

Now he can't avoid it any longer: Nico Paz is excelling in Italy and his performance is attracting a lot of attention. Real Madrid kept a buy-back option when they transferred him to Como for about six million euros. The buy-back clause is around nine to ten million.

Xabi Alonso backs Nico Paz as the solution

Xabi Alonso understands that Real Madrid needs that profile that brings freshness, creativity, and control to the midfield. Nico Paz fits that idea thanks to his versatility, technical quality, and vision of the game. Reports from his time at Como confirm him as one of the most promising talents in European soccer.

Xabi Alonso no longer accepts any more excuses and demands that Real Madrid execute the signing of Nico Paz to make a qualitative leap in the midfield. If the blow against Liverpool served any purpose, it's to make important decisions. Now, Real Madrid is taking action.
