Florentino Pérez wants to build a top team for the coming season.
After a season marked by humiliations against FC Barcelona and painful cup exits, Real Madrid will leave nothing to chance before the next Club World Cup. Florentino Pérez has already put an impressive amount on the table: 200 million euros to be used solely to strengthen the squad and bring the club back to the top level. The goal is clear: to make the team the best in the world and give Xabi Alonso – who will be the new head coach – all the necessary tools to fight for all titles.

First objective: Strengthen the defense
The recruitment strategy is already in place and includes names with both potential and established quality. In defence, Dean Huijsen is a safe bet. The young centre-back, one of the biggest revels in European football, is very close to a €60 million move to the Spanish giants. This fills an urgent need in defence after several injuries this season (Militao, Rüdiger and Alaba).
At left back, Álvaro Carreras from Benfica is the first choice. The player fits Alonso’s style of play perfectly, and Madrid are willing to pay €30 million for him.

Vitinha – Pérez’s most challenging target
But the most ambitious operation concerns the midfield: Vitinha. The Portuguese from PSG is seen as a key player in renewing and strengthening Madrid’s midfield. Florentino is preparing a bid of €110 million, but this could be the most difficult negotiation of the summer, as he is an important piece in Luis Enrique’s PSG – who are also aiming for Club World Cup triumph.
Free signing: Alexander-Arnold
Added to these names is Trent Alexander-Arnold, who arrives on a free transfer after his contract with Liverpool expires. A mix of young talent, international experience and long-term vision that confirms Madrid’s full commitment to recapturing the world’s top.
summary:
- €200 million dedicated to summer reinforcements
- Huijsen (60M€) and Carreras (30M€) to strengthen the defence
- Vitinha (110M€) will be the big dream in midfield
- Alexander-Arnold arrives for free from Liverpool
With these signings, Real Madrid are sending a clear signal: they are ready to dominate again. Will this be enough to secure the Club World Championship title?
