They announce a revolution in Real Madrid's midfield: 'Xabi Alonso likes...'

The season couldn't have started better at Bernabéu: Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid's brand new coach, has made an immediate impact in the locker room and among the fans. The white team has achieved 6 consecutive wins thanks to the strong personality the Tolosa coach has shown. The results achieved, both in the domestic league and in the Champions League, are clear proof of this.

However, despite the solutions he has implemented, Xabi Alonso believes the squad still needs reinforcements. As a result, the Basque coach has asked Florentino Pérez for the arrival of a playmaking midfielder. The request is on the white president's desk: there are three possible candidates.

Florentino Pérez thinks that Tchouaméni, Camavinga, and Fede Valverde are enough. However, after closely observing Xabi Alonso's first decisions and the results obtained, he will hardly deny him the signing he has requested. Now, all that's left is to analyze the three main candidates Real Madrid is monitoring.

Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch, from Liverpool to Real Madrid

First on the list is Mac Allister, a high-level Argentine midfielder, world champion in 2022, and who fits the profile Xabi Alonso is looking for in the midfield. His passing reliability is simply unbelievable, with an 88% success rate in over 60 matches played since his arrival in 2023. However, his signing won't be easy, as Liverpool has valued him at €120 million.

The second on Xabi Alonso's list also plays for Liverpool: it's Ryan Gravenberch. Currently, he's untouchable for Arne Slot and his departure seems extremely complicated. However, Florentino Pérez will surely try to cast his net over the Dutchman, aware of the enormous talent Real Madrid could acquire.

Xabi Alonso's favorite is Vitinha

Finally, Xabi Alonso's top choice is Vitinha. The Portuguese player has become PSG's engine, dictates the tempo like no one else, and is essential for Luis Enrique. His mobility and ability to open passing lanes place him among the best players in the world, and that's why he is highly regarded at Real Madrid.

As we can see, it won't be easy for Florentino Pérez to fulfill Xabi Alonso's wishes. Real Madrid's new coach only wants to have the best, as his wish list for the midfield shows. For now, he'll have to settle for Tchouaméni, Camavinga, and Fede Valverde.
