Over the last couple of years, Florentino Perez and Real Madrid have upheld the ‘Galacticos’ nickname by bringing in some of the world's best talent. The team who are known for their stacked teams with talent from the goalkeeper to the striker never fail to impress with their signings, and it is always a question of who’s next for the Madristas.
Signing Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, and Trent Alexander-Arnold is definitely a statement to the footballing world that even to this day Real Madrid are not playing around, and their hunger to be the best team with the best players will always be there. After signing young starlet Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth on a £50 million deal, and bringing in serial winning right back Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool on a free this summer, the list will only begin to go on for Madrid, and whoever they have eyes on next will have a hard time turning down a place in the biggest team in the world.
As former legend Xabi Alonso will replace the legendary Carlo Ancelotti next season, demands for a new centre back, and a new left back have been made, and with Huijsen already confirmed, it looks like the Galacticos have already checked one box for Alonso. With big names like Milos Kerkez, Alejandro Grimaldo, and Alphonso Davies all being on the list for a new left back for Madrid, don't be surprised if they set their sights higher, overt to Milan.
Any of the previous names could do a job for Madrid, but in Perez’ case, it is superstars they are after, and a certain French superstar in Milan may make his way over to the Bernabeu this summer, and his name is Theo Hernandez. I'm sure Madrid would be content with somebody like Davies or Grimaldo, but Hernandez having the international resume that he has, he will definitely be the man Madrid will try to flirt with this summer. With speed, vision, and amazing defensive abilities, Hernandez is the full package, and in Alonso’s case, he could be the perfect man who can attack and defend equally as well. With a probable big ask by Milan, and a tough deal as a whole for Madrid, they will most likely take a stab at the French international, and complete a summer of yet another batch of world beating signings, signings fit for the best team in the world.
But looking ahead for Madrid, where is their next headline signing coming from. Had Alonso impress in his inaugural season in Madrid, and prove his system will work for the Madristas, his eyes will be set on another centre back, and much like Hernandez, Perez and Real Madrid could see only one man fit for a Real Madrid shirt. As much as they wouldn't like to admit it, Arsenal’s William Saliba would be crazy to turn down an offer from the European Giants, and with his game improving rapidly, he may be Madrid’s next target. And with money to spend, and the pull Madrid have, had things not go Arsenal’s way next season, Saliba could receive an offer he cant refuse, and had Madrid throw the money bags at the North London club, Saliba could be Real Madrid’s next Mount Rushmore signing.
