Xabi Alonso ‘set to make’ fourth signing for Real Madrid before the start of the Club World Cup as insane overhaul continues Not one, not two, not three – Alonso is on the verge of his FOURTH signing already
The Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid is moving at lightning speed — and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Not one, not two, not three — but a FOURTH signing is now reportedly on the verge of being completed before the start of the FIFA Club World Cup, as Alonso wastes no time in reshaping the squad in his image.
The Spanish tactician, who officially took charge this summer, has already been making major moves in the transfer market. Following the arrivals of Alphonso Davies, Leny Yoro, and a long-awaited deal for Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid are now on the brink of announcing another big name, according to sources close to the club.
Speaking in his latest press conference, Alonso hinted at the club’s relentless ambition heading into the new season:
> “We have a clear plan and we’re moving fast because we want to arrive at the Club World Cup fully prepared. The players we’re bringing in are not just for now, but for the future of this club.”
While Alonso kept tight-lipped on the identity of the fourth signing, reports in Spain claim a versatile midfielder is next on the wishlist — someone who can provide depth alongside the likes of Jude Bellingham, Fede Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga.
The overhaul under Alonso has been nothing short of insane so far. With legends like Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos departing, the club is wasting no time in ushering in a new generation under the guidance of one of their former midfield generals.
The Club World Cup, set for December, is clearly a target for Alonso, who wants his squad fully assembled and firing by then.
> “Madrid doesn’t wait. This club demands winning everything — and that starts now,” Alonso declared.
As fans eagerly await confirmation of the fourth signing, one thing is clear: this new-look Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso means business. And with the transfer window still open, the Bernabéu faithful can expect a few more surprises before the season kicks off.
