Real Madrid is going all out in the market to attract the best possible reinforcements for next season. In fact, Los Merengues have already confirmed several stars that anyone would want on their squad. Nevertheless, Xabi Alonso doesn't want to stop and is waiting for more top-level reinforcements in his first year on the Merengues' bench.
This season, Los Merengues have had to witness a notable drop in their team's performance, something that hasn't been well received. Florentino doesn't want it to happen again and is investing money in important players. In this situation, Xabi Alonso's favorite signing has been revealed, which could put Raúl Asencio at risk.
Raúl Asencio and Real Madrid's competition
Raúl Asencio is a great defender, but lately he has been making important mistakes that could cost him opportunities. Xabi Alonso has just arrived at the team and it's important to make a good first impression on him. What is done now could determine what will happen during the next year.
Real Madrid have had problems in defense, especially due to injuries, which have been present at all times. In an attempt to strengthen the backline, Raúl Asencio appeared, who was waiting for his opportunity in the youth ranks of the Madrid club. Since his arrival in the first team, the Canary Islander has earned the trust of his fans.
Nevertheless, Xabi Alonso will look for more reinforcements and it has been leaked which is one of his biggest wishes. According to Miguel Serrano in Okdiario: "Xabi Alonso's favorite is the Valencia player Mosquera, who is playing in the Under-21 European Championship with Spain and his contract ends in 2026, so Valencia would be willing to negotiate his transfer."
Mosquera, a star Xabi Alonso likes
Mosquera has had a very good season with Valencia and has already caught the attention of several big clubs. For now, the Che club hasn't managed to convince him to renew, so everything is hanging in the air. His club will want to secure him again, but the defender could have other plans for next year.
His contract expires in 2026, so Valencia will have to sit down to negotiate with other teams if they want to get any benefit from him. Although we can't take anything for granted, it's possible that Xabi Alonso will go after him at some point in the market.
