Real Madrid invests 180 million euros in the summer window, Alonso s plan begins to emerge

Looking at Real Madrid's transfer operations this summer, after investing nearly 180 million euros, their team building ideas for the new season have become very clear. This huge investment is a clear signal for the club to support new coach Xavi Alonso's new plan and a direct response to last season's disappointing performance. Of the 180 million euros of

, 120 million are used on the back line, and this tilt is very obvious. This shows that Alonso and the club both believe that the biggest problem of the team last season was defense. After Carvajal and Militon were injured, defensive hardness was not enough on the wings guarded by Vasquez and Fran Garcia. So this signing is very targeted. The arrival of these three players, Alexander Arnold, Dean Juisen and Alvaro Carreras, is almost a comprehensive upgrade to the entire starting defense line.

Moreover, the choices of these players also reflect Alonso's requirements for tactical flexibility. He hopes to have the ability to play in the five-back system, and the three players Arnold, Huyson and Carreras all have good foot skills and ball output skills, and can well execute the tactical intention of organizing offenses from the backcourt. This is not only a replacement of personnel, but also a reflection of tactical ideas. The remaining 60 million euros were invested on Franco Mastantuno, who was only 18 years old. The nature of this transaction is different. It is not to make up for the lack of combat power, but a strategic investment. Real Madrid saw his huge potential and was willing to spend a lot of money to defeat competitors like Paris Saint-Germain and see him as a future star. Alonso's courage to trust such a young player also shows his judgment on the player's potential. Real Madrid's strategy this summer is very clear: on the one hand, use heavy money to immediately solve the urgent needs on the defense line, introduce players who can implement new coaching tactics, such as Gonzalo Garcia's return, also meets the basic needs of the No. 9; on the other hand, continue to implement the club's long-term policy of recruiting future stars, and most of the funds are invested in young people under the age of 22. This summer's operation has laid a solid foundation for Alonso's new plan. Of course, whether there will be signings in the future may depend on whether a player like Rodrigo will leave the team.
