Real Madrid aren’t just looking to reload—they’re looking to reassert total dominance.
Here’s what’s quietly unfolding behind the scenes:
The Three Targeted Positions:
Right-Back:
Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to be the marquee name linked, especially with uncertainty around Lucas Vázquez and Dani Carvajal’s injury issues.
Madrid wants modern width and playmaking from deep. If Trent arrives, it’s a seismic shift in how Madrid builds from the back.
Center-Forward:
With Joselu seen more as a squad option and Endrick still a project in waiting, Kylian Mbappé (despite being a winger) will likely be tasked with a central attacking role.
They may still look for a traditional No. 9 profile to complement Mbappé—think Dusan Vlahović or Alexander Isak types, though no names have been fully confirmed yet.
Central Midfield / Modrić Successor:
Missing out on Florian Wirtz was a blow, but the hunt for a creative force continues.
Xavi Simons (returning from loan at Leipzig) or even Bernardo Silva could be fallback options, depending on the market.
What This All Means:
This isn’t a rebuild—it’s a generational reset.
Madrid is crafting a squad built not just to win—but to dominate an entire decade.
Add in talents like Bellingham, Vinícius, Camavinga, and soon Mbappé, and you’re staring at what could be one of the most stacked squads in recent history.
Florentino Pérez isn’t just dreaming—he’s executing. And Europe should take notice.
