Alonso is targeting a striker like Joselu before. |
El Pais reports that Alonso is pushing for a real "number 9" striker who can play as a wall and support his teammates like Joselu did. The Spanish strategist believes that Real Madrid are in dire need of a player with such characteristics.
In addition, in Alonso's system at Bayer Leverkusen, this coach always likes to use a tall center forward who knows how to support the team like Victor Boniface or Patrik Schick.
Alonso also understands that finding such a player in the current transfer market is not simple, especially when Real Madrid wants to make a deal with a limited budget.
However, Alonso believes that a real centre-forward could be a turning point for the team, especially if Ancelotti's Real Madrid are disappointing in the 2024/25 season. The club let Joselu leave last summer, leaving Real without a quality option in attack.
Having a wall player up front would free up Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, two players who prefer to play on the wings rather than centrally.
In addition, coach Alonso also asked Real Madrid to recruit one or two more midfielders who fit his tactical style. The most ideal solution for "Los Blancos" is to bring in a talented young midfielder and an experienced midfielder who is ready to sit on the bench.
Real Madrid have been impressive in the transfer market so far. The defence has been significantly improved with the arrivals of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, while new left-back Alvaro Carreras is set to arrive. However, coach Alonso is waiting for at least three more new signings in midfield and attack.
