Real Madrid is experiencing days of major changes. With Xabi Alonso in charge, the club is adapting to new demands and adjustments in the squad. The arrival of new signings, such as Trent and Huijsen, along with ongoing negotiations with Álvaro Carreras, has caused high expectations. The renewal of Brahim Díaz, whose continuity seemed uncertain, is surprising and could redefine his future at Real Madrid.
Xabi Alonso, decided about his squad
Since his arrival at Bernabéu, Xabi Alonso has made it clear that his mission is to strengthen the team in all areas. He has not only requested reinforcements for the defense, but also aims to keep internal competitiveness. The arrival of new players not only responds to an increase in quality, but also sends a clear message to the footballers who were already part of the squad.
Brahim Díaz's renewal: an unexpected turn
One of the most striking moves Xabi Alonso has made has been keeping Brahim Díaz, a player whose future seemed uncertain. Despite rumors about his departure, especially after the arrival of Arda Güler and the possible addition of Franco Mastantuono, Alonso has changed the situation.
The native of Tolosa has pushed to secure the renewal of the player from Málaga, which has finally paid off. Brahim will see his contract extended until 2030, with an agreement to be finalized in the coming days.
How was the competition managed?
The arrival of new players has caused competition in several positions. The emergence of Arda Güler and rumors about Franco Mastantuono cast doubt on Brahim's future at the club. However, Xabi Alonso has made it clear that he doesn't see Franco as his direct competition.
On the contrary, he has shown his trust in both players, assuring that both will have minutes and an important role in the team's system.
This gesture from Alonso has been key for Brahim to decide to renew his contract. Aware of the competition, the player sees in his coach's trust an opportunity to grow and be key. The agreement for his renewal was a logical step for both parties, since Xabi firmly believes in his talent and in the unique profile Brahim brings to the squad.
It is a confirmation of Xabi Alonso's trust and a sign that the player will have a key role in the club's upcoming projects.
