What’s the next signing that Real Madrid needs after Trent, Huijsen, Mastantuono, and Carreras?
It is fair to say that the new signings of Real Madrid, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Dean Huijsen have also played at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 for the team. Dean Huijsen has been the most impressive and has gelled very smoothly with the club and the new manager’s tactics. Trent Alexander-Arnold was decent and showed some attacking threats, whereas his defensive actions need to be worked on.
The most recent signing of Real Madrid is the new left-back, Alvaro Carreras. Real Madrid got Alvaro Carreras from SL Benfica for nearly €50m, and Carreras will stay at the club for the next six years. Alvaro Carreras is a Real Madrid academy product before moving to Manchester United in 2022. He will be presented as a new Real Madrid player on 15th July. The other promising talent that Real Madrid had already signed before Carreras was Franco Mastantuono.
Potential signings for Real Madrid in the defense
After a bad performance in defence against Paris Saint-Germain, which caused Real Madrid a humiliating defeat, Real Madrid has preferred to sign a defender this summer. They won’t overpay to get the player, but if things go as planned, a defender will join Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is heavily interested in Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate, and the player also wants to go to Real Madrid. Konate’s contract expires next year, and Real Madrid wanted to get him for free as they did for Trent. As per reports, Real Madrid is ready to pay for Konate this season, but they will offer somewhere around €25m to €30m, but Liverpool wants €50m.
Liverpool knows that the player has his heart for Real Madrid, but they would prefer him to go for free next year. Ibrahima Konate is a perfect profile for Xabi Alonso’s tactics.

David Alaba most likely can leave the club this summer as a lot of injuries have downgraded his game. Rudiger has also shown his graph going down, whereas Raul Acensio had made three errors in three games at the FIFA Club World Cup. Eder Militao can be a perfect partner of Dean Huijsen, as Militao showed his class game in the semi-final against PSG. Militao has missed almost two years of football due to two ACL injuries. It will be seen how consistently he performs as he used to do.
Does Real Madrid need a controller in the midfield?
Yes, one thing is for sure: Xabi Alonso wants a controller in the midfield of this Real Madrid team. Angelo Stiller was linked with the club before, and he’s a perfect fit for the team. He currently plays for the VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. Stiller is a defensive midfielder who controls the game from behind.
That is what Toni Kroos used to do for the team. Some of his key skills are his passing, he can help the team defensively, has a better reading of the game, and the most important thing is his composure in tough situations. He will cost somewhere below €30m.
Dani Ceballos will leave the club most likely as he is not in the plans of Real Madrid. This will surely make way for the new signing. Angelo Stiller wants Real Madrid and won’t demand more game time than others. Jude Bellingham will miss the first 2-3 months of the next season due to his shoulder surgery.
This will perfectly fit Stiller’s place in the starting eleven. Manchester City’s Rodri can be a good fit, but City won’t let him leave, and Real Madrid won’t pay €100 million for him.
