Real Madrid already has its sights set on its next moves in the summer transfer market, with five well-defined targets, as reported by AS newspaper. The priority is to strengthen the right-back position with the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will be available after his contract with Liverpool ends. Additionally, they aim to enhance defensive rotation with Dean Huijsen, while in midfield, the big bet is Martín Zubimendi, who would be the natural replacement for Luka Modric. These names are joined by two potential returns: Miguel Gutiérrez and Nico Paz.

Alexander Arnold, Carvajal's heir

Alexander-Arnold's case seems to be progressing. There are no new developments in the negotiation, which in this type of operation is a positive sign. The agreement between the player and the Real Madrid club is practically closed, only the signature to formalize it remains. Anfield still hopes to retain him, but the Englishman has made it clear he desires a change of scenery. His addition would strengthen a position where Dani Carvajal has been essential for years but needs a secure future option.

Huijsen and Zubimendi, Spanish signings

In the center of defense, the focus is on Huijsen. Although signing a central defender is not an immediate priority, the club understands the need to prepare for the future, as Rüdiger and Alaba have contracts until 2026 and are over thirty. Huijsen, with his imposing physicality and technical quality, fits the profile Real Madrid is looking for. The main obstacle is his price, as his release clause is €50 million, a high figure that the whites will try to negotiate down.

The midfield will also undergo changes. Modric's possible departure leaves a significant gap, and Zubimendi appears as the ideal replacement. However, Arsenal is also pursuing him and has presented an offer of €60 million. Real Madrid is not willing to engage in an excessive bidding war, but acknowledges that his signing would help both in sporting terms and in the goal of having more Spanish players in the squad.

The returns of Nico Paz and Miguel Gutiérrez

Lastly, the club is considering the return of Gutiérrez and Paz. In the case of the full-back, Madrid can bring him back for eight million, but his return depends on an exit from the squad. Meanwhile, Paz's future remains uncertain, as the young attacking midfielder seeks playing time, and his return would only make sense if he is guaranteed a prominent role. The summer will be crucial in defining these moves and giving a new boost to the white team.
