Xabi Alonso has arrived at Real Madrid, and he’s not wasting any time. With the Club World Cup set to kick off on June 14, the new manager’s top priority is clear: sign a true No.9.
According to El Chiringuito, Real Madrid plans to bring in two new signings after the tournament—one midfielder and, more urgently, a striker. This marks a shift in strategy, as recent Spanish reports suggested the club would evaluate the squad first before making any decisions.
A Number 9 at All Costs
The striker search is taking center stage. With Kylian Mbappé now wearing the iconic No.10 and Endrick also arriving, Madrid’s attacking setup is entering a new era. However, questions loom over Rodrygo’s future. As reported by Josep Pedrerol, the Brazilian has yet to clarify his stance, leaving the door open to speculation—whether it’s about a reduced role or a potential departure.
Florentino Pérez is desperate to win the Club World Cup, but that may have to happen without a traditional No.9. One thing’s for sure: the transfer window will stay hot in Madrid after the summer tournament.
