Xabi Alonso is in the midst of a change at Real Madrid: a new striker and a former protégé could return to the club

Spanish coach Xabi Alonso, who is preparing to take over Real Madrid, has begun plans to reshape the team. He has begun to select players who will fit his style of play. This was reported by COPE.

Xabi Alonso has set certain requirements to fill the gap in the attack line. According to the expert, the team needs a tall and physically strong forward similar to former Real Madrid striker Joselu. Such a player is required to play effectively in the air, win battles for high balls and regularly score goals.

It is worth recalling that 35-year-old Spanish striker Joselu defended the honor of the Royal Club in 2023-2024 and managed to score 19 goals in 51 official matches. Currently, the experienced player continues his career in the Qatari championship.

In addition, Xabi Alonso has also asked the club to bring back former Madrid player Nico Paz. The young midfielder was transferred to the Italian club Como for 6 million euros a year ago.

Nico Paz showed himself well in his debut season in the Italian Serie A. He scored 6 goals in 33 games and provided 9 assists for his teammates. As a result of his effective and consistent play, the young player was recognized as one of the greatest discoveries in Serie A.

Xabi Alonso considers the inclusion of local graduates and experienced strikers to be important in building the future of the club. According to experts, Xabi Alonso can successfully shape his playing style in the team and lead Madrid to new titles.

The club's management is expected to make a clear decision on these transfers in the near future.
