Real Madrid is already planning for the summer of 2026 with a clear objective: to reinforce its midfield. Xabi Alonso has pointed out three priority names: Alexis Mac Allister, Vitinha, and Ryan Gravenberch.

The coach believes that signing one of these footballers will be key to maintaining hegemony in Europe and consolidating their sporting project.

Alexis Mac Allister, the engine that captivates Xabi Alonso

Argentinian Alexis Mac Allister is the top priority on the list. World champion in 2022 and a current standout at Liverpool, the midfielder has played over 60 games with the Reds since his arrival in 2023. With an 88% passing accuracy and an average of 2.1 recoveries per game in the Premier League, he has become a crucial piece at Anfield.

Xabi Alonso sees him as the ideal partner for Aurélien Tchouaméni in an elite double pivot. The issue lies in his contract expiring in 2028, and Liverpool won't let him go easily. Madrid has reportedly explored figures close to 120 million euros, reflecting his status.

Ryan Gravenberch, youth and physical power for the midfield

Another name on the list is Ryan Gravenberch, a Dutch international who also plays for Liverpool. At just 23 years old, he has shown to be a midfielder with strength, vision, and the ability to perform various roles. This season he boasts an 85% pass accuracy and an average of 1.8 interceptions per game.

Real Madrid had been following him for years, but now they see him as a strategic investment. Valued at around 65 million euros, Gravenberch would fit into the gradual midfield renovation after the departures of Modrić and Kroos. At Chamartín, they view him as a player capable of providing immediate balance and long-term future.

Vitinha, the creative bet from PSG

The third target is Vitinha from Paris Saint-Germain. The Portuguese has flourished in recent seasons under the guidance of Luis Enrique, even finishing third in the Ballon d'Or vote. With an 89% pass accuracy and 2.4 chances created per game, he is the creative profile that Xabi Alonso is seeking after Kroos and Modrić's departures.

Florentino Pérez would already have an agreement with his agent, Jorge Mendes, although negotiations with PSG are expected to be challenging. The French club values him at over 80 million euros, a figure Madrid is willing to consider.

Real Madrid boasts a promising midfield with Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouaméni, and Bellingham. However, the arrival of one of these three signings would raise the competitive level. Xabi Alonso has made it clear that he wants a dominant midfield in Europe, and the next transfer market could be decisive in consolidating that vision.

The names of Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Vitinha will set the agenda for Real Madrid in the coming months, promising to be one of the most interesting battles of the 2026 market.
