One of the first changes will be within the locker room, where adjustments in dynamics and responsibilities are expected. The goal is clear: to elevate the collective performance in view of new challenges. The most immediate is the novel Club World Cup. 

Immediate goal: Club World Cup in June

Second defensive reinforcement confirmed by Madrid

Real Madrid has paid 5 million euros to secure the addition of a world-class full-back. We are talking about Trent Alexander-Arnold, until now a key piece at Liverpool, who will join Madrid for the World Cup. His arrival responds to Xabi Alonso's desire to improve ball distribution from the back.

The English international arrives to occupy a key area that needed renewal. His experience and vision of the game will be crucial in such a demanding tournament. Additionally, his ability to join the attack adds a new dimension to the white system.

The figure of 5 million was sufficient because the player's contract was ending very soon. Madrid preferred to anticipate and pay now to avoid unnecessary risks. This way, they ensure his participation in the Club World Cup from day one.

Xabi Alonso is already working with all the reinforcements at his disposal. Real Madrid positions itself as one of the favorites to win the title. With tactical discipline, young talent, and international experience, the fans have reasons to dream.
