"Real" wants to rebuild the defense in the summer: Xabi Alonso is asking for 100 million euros for two young stars
Madrid's "Real" club is preparing for significant changes in the summer transfer window. According to a report by Sport.es, the "Royal Club" plans to strengthen its defense at the initiative of Xabi Alonso, who is expected to be appointed as head coach soon.
Alonso has expressed his desire to see "Bournemouth" central defender Dine Højlund and "Benfica" left-back Alvaro Karreras in the team. Sources indicate that the Madrid club is ready to spend at least 100 million euros for these two young talents.
Højlund valued at 58 million euros
The 21-year-old Dutch defender Højlund has participated in 34 matches for "Bournemouth" this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist. Xabi Alonso, who wants to see him in the "Real" squad right now, highly values the player's understanding of the game and his safe movements in defense. "Bournemouth" is asking for a compensation fee of 58 million euros for the player.
Karreras - a perfect solution for the left flank
The 22-year-old defender Alvaro Karreras from "Benfica" has played 48 matches in all competitions this season, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists. His contract includes a clause for early termination worth 50 million euros. The Madrid club aims to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen the left side of the defense for the long term.
Both players will play a crucial role in the new "Real" concept that Xabi Alonso aims to establish. Analysts believe that "Real" has lost its solidity in defense in recent seasons and it is time to start rebuilding with young, dynamic players.
The editorial team of Zamin.uz assesses that this transfer strategy of "Real Madrid" could be an important step in strengthening the club's future. The impact of these transfers in the upcoming season is generating great interest among all football fans.
