Real Madrid keeping the door open for more summer additions
According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, it has been learned that Real Madrid remain alert in the transfer market, even after locking in several signings for the 2025/26 season.
It must be noted that the club has already secured Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Franco Mastantuono. Alvaro Carreras is also expected to join after the Club World Cup in the United States, bringing the total to four new arrivals.
Club World Cup to dictate market movement
But even with those additions, Madrid’s work in the market may not be over, as club officials know that a lot can change after the Club World Cup.
Depending on how the squad performs in the tournament, they may look to strengthen certain areas further.
The team is not expected to rush into any decisions, but if the right opportunity comes along, Madrid could act quickly.
Midfield and attack remain focus
Real Madrid are primarily looking at adding depth in midfield and up front. These two positions are seen as areas where extra quality might be needed, especially if current options fall short during the tournament.
At the same time, the club is also open to reinforcing the defence if a good option becomes available.
There is also growing hope within the club that some of the academy players could make the jump to the first team.
Young players have a chance
Xabi Alonso has taken 10 youth players to the Club World Cup, and several of them were coached by him during his time in the academy.
One standout is Gonzalo Garcia, who could turn out to be the striker Real Madrid are looking for.
Right now, nothing is urgent. But with eyes firmly on both the transfer market and their own youth talents, Madrid are preparing for every possible scenario.
Real Madrid are back in action tomorrow in La Liga as they take on Elche at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero on Matchday 6.
The Merengues go into the game on the back of a solid 4-1 win over Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabeu and will be eager to build on that, especially with the Madrid derby coming up later in the week.
Ahead of the trip to Elche, Jose Mourinho has announced the squad list of players that will be at his disposal for the game tomorrow night.
There are no new returns to the squad as Real Madrid continue to be without Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, and Rodrygo Goes for the game.
Mourinho could look to make changes to his starting lineup, keeping an eye on the derby at the weekend, which could potentially open the doors for someone like Aurelien Tchouameni to start, having been eased back into the thick of things after return from injury.
There could be some rotations in defence as well, with the likes of Antonio Rudiger and Trent Alexander-Arnold hoping to get some action on the pitch.
It remains to be seen if Yan Diomande starts another game after featuring from the get-go against Rayo at the weekend, especially considering that Arda Guler has been a key player for Mourinho’s team.
Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Jude Bellingham have started all matches so far and it will be interesting to see if one or all of them are given a break with an eye on the derby.
