Xabi Alonso wants to sign a midfielder for Real Madrid. There is no doubt that the Madrid boss is not happy with the midfielders he got.
The Spanish boss knows that if Madrid want to win the Champions League, they need to upgrade their midfielders.
There are already question marks on the future of Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga.
Real Madrid are looking to sign a midfielder from the Premier League. They are already heavily linked with Rodri.
However, that deal looks far-fetched as Real Madrid usually don’t sign players of his age with such a high price.
Both Xabi Alonso and Florentino Perez admire the Spanish midfielder. But it doesn’t seem feasible for Madrid to sign Rodri at such a high price.
Also, Xabi Alonso experienced humiliation in the Club World Cup. He knows that something like that cannot happen in the Champions League.
Also, his main aim is to win the Champions League with Real Madrid.
For that, he needs to add a midfielder who can hold the possession of the ball and break up the play when they are out of possession.
That is why Xabi Alonso is eyeing two midfielders from the Premier League and Rodri is not one of the them.
Real Madrid are ready to back their new manager and that is why according to Spanish sources, they have arranged a €100 million budget to sign one of those midfielders.
Madrid knows that such top-class midfielders will not come cheap. The two midfielders they are eyeing are Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea and Alexis Mac Allister from Liverpool.
Both Argentine midfielders played a crucial role in the recent success of their respective clubs. That is why it will not be a surprise if Real Madrid try to bring one of them to Santiago Bernabeu.
