Real Madrid lost 0-4 to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, which deeply stimulated club chairman Florentino. In the VIP seat at that time, Galeries Lafayette and Paris President Nasser sat on both sides of FIFA President Infantino. Nasser's unconcealed smile formed a sharp contrast with the dark clouded face of Galeries, which also made Florentino make up his mind that he must increase investment in the summer window, buy people, buy people, or buy people! It is reported that Real Madrid will sign Benfica's left-back Alvare Carreras and will set Liverpool's midfielder core McAllister as the team's top midfield recruitment target. Real Madrid's investment in transfers in the summer window will exceed 200 million euros!

Real Madrid lost both in the Champions League and La Liga last season, mainly because there were too many injuries on the back line, which resulted in many games being unavailable. Ancelotti had to let Camavenga and even Valverde play a guest defender frequently. After Xavi Alonso became Real Madrid's new head coach, the first thing to solve is to strengthen the defense line. For this reason, Real Madrid has spent 62.5 million euros to sign 20-year-old central defender Heysen from Bournemouth. Even though he could not sign Arnold without spending money, he also paid 10 million euros to Liverpool in order to allow Arnold to join the Club World Cup in advance.

However, in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, Heisen was sent off by a red card, so he missed the semi-finals against Paris. In the end, Real Madrid had to send Raul Asensio to replace Heisen, and eventually lost to Paris Saint-Germain 0-4, setting a new record for Real Madrid's loss in the Club World Cup!

However, after defeating Real Madrid and entering the final, Paris lost 0-3 to another rich team, Chelsea. Chelsea started 11 players with a total value of 585 million euros, of which 8 players were introduced in the past three seasons, with a total cost of 525 million euros; Paris started 11 players with a total value of 720 million euros, and 8 players were introduced in the past three seasons, with a total cost of 350 million euros. It has proved again that modern football, if you want to win, you must invest money. If you want to win, you must invest money!

Therefore, after Real Madrid was eliminated in the Club World Cup, it significantly accelerated its signings in the transfer market. After Heisen and Arnold, the third player to join Real Madrid is still the defender, which is 22-year-old Benfica left-back Alvaro Carreras. According to Romano, Real Madrid has reached an agreement with Benfica on the transfer of Alvaro Carreras. Real Madrid will sign Alvaro Carreras from Benfica for 50 million euros. The payment method is not to activate the termination clause in one lump sum, but to pay in installments. Moreover, before that, Real Madrid youth training player Obrador, who was worth 500,000 euros, transferred to Benfica for 5 million euros, which actually reduced Real Madrid's transfer fee expenditure in disguise. In addition, Manchester United will make a profit of 8.8 million euros from the deal based on Alvaro Carreras' second transfer share.

Moreover, Heisen, Arnold and Alvaro Carreras are probably not all Real Madrid sign ups on the back line. According to the Spanish Six program, Real Madrid has reached an agreement with Liverpool centre-back Conat, and Real Madrid will sign Conat without a sign in the summer of 2026. Connate joined Liverpool from Leipzig for 40 million euros in July 2021. His performance in the first two seasons can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but last season, under the coaching of the new coach Slott, he became the absolute main force of the team's defense line and formed the strongest defense line with Van Dijk. Connate is currently worth 60 million euros. His contract with Liverpool will expire at the end of June 2026. Liverpool is planning to renew his contract with Connate, but the first two renewal offers have been rejected by the team. Connate is very eager to join Real Madrid. Real Madrid's idea is to sign him for free in the summer of 2026. However, Real Madrid has taken Arnold away for just 10 million euros. If he wants to sign Connaught without a visa, is he really going to offend Liverpool to death?

Moreover, Connat is not the only Liverpool player Real Madrid is currently interested in. After Modric left the team, Real Madrid continued to introduce a player in the midfield who could organize the offense, and Liverpool's 26-year-old Argentine midfielder McAllister was their number one target. McAllister transferred from Brighton to Liverpool in July 2023 for 42 million euros. He is now the offensive commander of the Reds' midfielder and is currently worth 100 million euros. Real Madrid hopes to trade McAllister for 50 million euros plus 45 million euros, but Liverpool has rejected Real Madrid's offer, and their asking price for Argentine midfielder far exceeds Real Madrid's offer.

After being rejected by Liverpool, Real Madrid's signing eyes turned to another Argentine midfielder, Chelsea's Enzo Fernandes. Enzo just helped Chelsea defeat Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final, which may also be an important reason why he attracted the attention of Galeries Lafayette. However, the difficulty of this deal is also very high. Firstly, Enzo's net worth reached 75 million euros, and he is younger than McAllister. His transfer fee will not be much lower than McAllister. Secondly, Chelsea is not short of money at all, and even richer than Real Madrid. They spent 121 million euros to introduce Enzo Fernandez. Without a quotation of 150 million euros, they probably wouldn't even have interest in negotiations.

Real Madrid has spent 125 million euros on Heisen, Arnold and Alvaro Carreras. Neither McAllister nor Enzo Fernandez's transfer fee will be less than 100 million euros. If Real Madrid can sign one of these two people, the transfer investment in the summer window will be greatly exceeded 200 million euros. Thankfully, because Alonso discovered Gonzalo Garcia in the Club World Cup, Real Madrid almost never had to spend money on the front line. On the contrary, they could even earn about 100 million euros by selling Rodrigo.. Next, let’s wait and see which midfielder Real Madrid will introduce and how much the transfer fee will be!
