Real Madrid Seeks Striker Post Club World Cup Win
Real Madrid Set to Stick with Current Strikers for 2025/26 Season
According to reports from Diario AS, Real Madrid has decided not to bring in a new striker for the upcoming La Liga season. Instead, manager Xabi Alonso has focused on strengthening other areas of the team following his return to the Spanish capital in May.
Latest Signings by Xabi Alonso
Since taking over from Carlo Ancelotti, Alonso has made three key signings. Trent Alexander-Arnold has finally made the switch from Liverpool, while Spain international Dean Huijsen has joined from Bournemouth. Additionally, the highly-rated Argentinian teenager Franco Mastantuono is set to join the squad once he turns 18 in mid-August.
More New Faces Expected at Real Madrid
Alonso is not done with his transfer business yet. There are rumors of a move for Benfica left-back Alvaro Carreras, who has been a target for Los Blancos even before their FIFA Club World Cup campaign in the USA.
Garcia Torres Earns Alonso’s Trust
Despite the speculation surrounding a new striker, Alonso has expressed his faith in Gonzalo Garcia Torres to take on an increased role in the team. With Kylian Mbappe sidelined due to illness, Garcia has impressed as Real Madrid’s central attacker.
Having scored his first senior goal and showcased his talent in recent matches, the 21-year-old has proven himself as a valuable asset to the team.
Alonso’s Strategic Approach with Garcia
Alonso sees Garcia as the next ‘Joselu 2.0’, drawing parallels to the unexpected success of Joselu in the previous season. With an impressive goal-scoring record in the Real Madrid youth ranks, Garcia has the potential to make a significant impact in the first team.
By giving opportunities to homegrown talents like Garcia, Real Madrid could potentially save a substantial amount in future transfer windows while nurturing their own talent from within the club.
