Real Madrid is already thinking beyond the immediate schedule. Although the return of La Liga after the international break attracts sports attention, the offices at Chamartín are already working intensively on shaping the squad for the 2026-2027 season.

As revealed on El Chiringuito de Jugones, the White Club would have virtually finalized two signings that could set the course for the future project: Ibrahima Konaté and Nico Paz.

Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez, the main figures in sports planning, are clear that reinforcing the team every summer is essential to maintain European dominance. The Madrid president has stated on various occasions that the club's greatness is sustained over time thanks to the constant renewal of the squad and the ambition to conquer new titles.

Ibrahima Konaté:

The most talked-about name is Konaté. The French center-back from Liverpool has established himself as one of the most reliable defenders in the Premier League, and his profile fits seamlessly into the idea of a generational change in the white defense. With Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba approaching the end of their contracts, Real Madrid is looking for a young leader with international experience. Konaté meets all the requirements and has the approval of the future coach, Xabi Alonso.

Nico Paz:

The other move is more of a future investment: Nico Paz. The attacking midfielder, already involved with the first team, has become one of the major promises of the Real Madrid youth system. The club's plan is to secure him and give him a prominent role in the upcoming period, aware that he is closely followed by European clubs. Securing Nico not only means retaining talent but also sending a message of confidence in the Valdebebas Sports City, a true breeding ground for stars.

The big challenge will be competing in the market with giants like Manchester City, Arsenal, or United, who spare no expense to strengthen their squads. However, Florentino Pérez's figure remains a major asset for Real Madrid: his management skills and long-term vision have been crucial in strategic signings over the last decade.

Real Madrid's intention is to close both deals before the end of 2025 to avoid bidding wars in the summer of 2026. Everything indicates that Konaté and Nico Paz will be part of a new phase seeking to keep the club at the peak of European football, combining youth, potential, and experience.

Real Madrid fans eagerly await the arrival of these two names. It would be a show of strength in the market and a declaration of intent: to continue building a competitive team, true to its history, and ready to extend its dominance in the next decade.
