Real Madrid refuses to seek reinforcements for Xabi Alonso

Real Madrid has chosen to stay out of the January transfer window, adhering to a well-calculated and coherent plan.

January arrives with a packed schedule, as Real Madrid must compete in up to four competitions, and even a single incident could disrupt their plans. However, within the management, there is no hesitation regarding the medium and long-term strategy.

According to AS, Real Madrid's priority is not immediate signings but preparing for the next season. The search for new players has already begun, although specific targets may still change.

This decision by Real Madrid's leadership is a heavy blow to coach Xabi Alonso, who is under significant pressure due to poor results with Los Blancos. The Spanish coach lacks many players suited to his philosophy, leading to disappointing outcomes in the first half of the 2025/26 season.

Because of the poor results, Real Madrid had considered dismissing Xabi Alonso. The absence of new signings during the winter window will make Alonso’s job even tougher. Defensive issues, midfield challenges, and overreliance on Mbappe in attack are expected to remain difficult problems for him.

Real Madrid is competing in LaLiga with a squad undergoing transition. This is not a crisis but a carefully designed cycle of change. Florentino Perez always prefers to anticipate problems rather than react too late.

Therefore, although January is marked on the calendar, the real moves will come in the summer. The plan is clear: smartly strengthen the midfield and defense without disrupting financial or sporting balance.

Only time will tell if this strategy continues to bring success. For now, Florentino Perez holds firm to the wheel, loyal to the philosophy that shaped an era for Real Madrid.
