Xabi Alonso is being tapped in as the new Real Madrid coach in time to join the squad for the United States to claim the title in the Club World Cup. With Alonso on his way to Madrid, there are rumours of what signings will come. Now it is reported that Alonso will most likely make a phone call to his Liverpool contacts.
Being a player legend at three of the world’s biggest clubs has its great advantages: Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. According to former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown, there are signals that not only Trent Alexander-Arnold will be brought to the San Bernabeu.

When Liverpool manager Arne Slot lifted the Premier League trophy, Argentine Alexis Mac Allister was the player with the fourth most playing time in the squad. Real Madrid are chasing Rodri at Manchester City, but according to Football-Insider, they have received a thumbs down from the Portuguese, who is very happy with Guardiola.
This means that Real Madrid is turning against other candidates,
-Real Madrid have some problems getting into the transfer window. The manager is gone, it looks like Xabi Alonso will be the one to replace him. Then you have the two centre-backs who need to be replaced, and there has been some talk that they also want to sign a new midfielder,” Brown told Football-Insider.

“So they need three or four players, and they have to be top-level players who are not easy to find. They have Alexander-Arnold coming in, so there is one position on their list. Alexis Mac Allister is a player I’ve heard they’ve looked at as well. The new manager knows the Liverpool environment well, he will continue to have his contacts at the club, and he will talk to them about a possible deal. That would be a big deal,” says the former chief scout.
