Neither Gonzalo García nor Mbappé: Xabi Alonso wants West Ham's number 9

Real Madrid wants to finalize the arrival of a reinforcement who could be key for the future: major signing

Real Madrid is going through a period of changes, and the adjustments made now will be very relevant for the future. Madridists have had a complicated year and are trying to figure out how to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together. This has caused a lot of expectations among the Merengue environment, especially after the arrival of the new coach.

Xabi Alonso shook social media when it became known that he was going to be in charge of managing Real Madrid's bench, as is normal. Currently, one of the areas that generates the most doubt is the attack, since it could be improved despite having big names. One of the options to solve the problem is neither Mbappé nor Gonzalo García; something that was not expected.

Xabi Alonso's adjustments

Xabi Alonso is the new hope for Real Madrid, and fans have full trust in the project he is creating. Los Blancos have secured quality reinforcements this past year, and this summer is proving to be key. Footballers like Mbappé have greatly excited the fans, but he still lacks an optimal environment on the field.

Mbappé has been one of Real Madrid's signings that has caused the most joy, but the adaptation was not easy. In fact, a part of the fans came to believe that he would not adapt in the best way. In the end, he has finished the year in an unstoppable way; what was expected from a striker like him.

Meanwhile, Gonzalo García is starting to get opportunities under Xabi Alonso's orders, but it is not enough. Even with two strikers of good level, Real Madrid wants to secure the signing of a competent "9". Joselu is still remembered in the team for his good role: he gave everything and accepted his secondary role perfectly.

Real Madrid's signing

Real Madrid is closely following Füllkrug, the West Ham striker who has not managed to settle this year due to injuries. In any case, Los Blancos need a forward who knows how to be Mbappé's substitute. The German, despite being a new signing for the English side, would look favorably on a change of scenery.

Xabi Alonso will have to work hard and see how he solves the problems in the attack. Although we can't take anything for granted yet, it is very likely that there will be moves in the coming months.
