According to sources from the Spanish press, Real Madrid is keeping an eye on three names that can bring the star -filled squad of new coach Xabi Alonso to a new level.
Los Blancos has recruited 4 rookies this summer, with the goal of regaining La Liga and the Champions League. Center -back Dean Huijsen joined Bournemouth for about 62.5 million pounds. Together with him, Alvaro Carreras, Franco Mastastuono, with the star Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool.
However, as revealed from the Marca, Real Madrid is still preparing for a new “explosion”, with 3 cult names in the sight. The first person in the list of coach Alonso's desire was Vitinha. The PSG star impressed with the performance in the club shirt and the national team in the season 2024/25.
He not only contributed greatly to PSG for the first time winning the Champions League, but also the “brain” in the journey to bring Portugal to the throne at the UEFA Nations League final against Spain. Vitinha closed the season with 59 matches, scored 8 goals and had 5 assists for the Paris capital team.
The article from Marca said that in Vitinha's contract, there was a release clause that would activate in the summer of the following year, opening up the opportunity for Real to take him to the Bernabeu.
But that is not all. Real Madrid also wants to consolidate the defense with one of the leading central defenders in the Premier League. Los Blancos is targeting two goals: Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool) or William Saliba (Arsenal).
Konate joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2021 and was a pillar in the Premier League squad last season under the Arne Slot. He played 42 matches in all competitions, and the current contract was only in the summer of 2026, which means the ability to leave in the form of freedom is possible.
Meanwhile, the Saliba deal promises much more difficult, because the French center -back signed a contract with Arsenal until 2028. He was also a key card in coach Mikel Arteta's plan, after playing 51 matches for the Gunners last season and was considered as a factor to raise the North London club.
