Real Madrid Transfer Update: Summer Moves and Strategic Targets
Departures on the Horizon
- Antonio Rüdiger: Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, are reportedly targeting the 32-year-old center-back. With just one year left on his contract, Rüdiger could be available for a cut-price fee should he opt not to renew at the Bernabéu.
- Rodrygo Goes: Despite ongoing speculation linking him to Arsenal, PSG, and others, Rodrygo is understood to want to remain at Real Madrid and compete for his spot under Xabi Alonso. However, the club is reportedly open to selling him—but only if the player chooses to leave.
Possible Incomings
- Álvaro Carreras: The Benfica left-back is close to becoming Real Madrid’s fourth signing of the summer. However, a deal hinges on Manchester United’s response, as they retain first refusal rights on the former academy product.
- Ibrahima Konaté: Madrid is considering a move for the Liverpool defender, whose contract expires next season. They may try to strike a cut-price deal now or wait until he becomes a free agent in 2026.
- Alexis Mac Allister: The Argentine midfielder has emerged as a top target for Madrid, with the club reportedly preparing a $116.8 million bid. Mac Allister is believed to be highly rated by manager Xabi Alonso, who sees him as a long-term midfield solution.
With both exits and arrivals on the table, Real Madrid’s summer transfer window remains highly active, as the club continues reshaping its squad to compete at the highest level under Alonso’s leadership.
