Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has already earmarked the player whom he feels is ready to make the step up to replace Dani Ceballos in his squad.That’s according to Spanish football insider

Real Madrid has already invested over 200 million euros in reinforcements this summer, adding Trent Alexander-Arnold, Álvaro Carreras, Dean Huijsen, and the promising Franco Mastantuono. However, none of these signings address the midfield area, which lost Luka Modric after his free transfer to AC Milan.

With a week left in the transfer window, Liverpool must act quickly if they are to add further reinforcements, and they could still go back in for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who has been known to play off the left. It is understood, too, that Arne Slot is keen to add depth at centre-back.
