Real Madrid Sets Aside €100 Million for Alphonso Davies and the ‘New Kroos’ in 2025

Even though the transfer window has officially closed, Real Madrid’s management continues to focus on the future, working tirelessly behind the scenes in Valdebebas to prepare for upcoming seasons.

While Carlo Ancelotti is fully focused on maximizing the potential of his current squad in pursuit of up to seven trophies this season, club president Florentino Pérez and general manager José Ángel Sánchez are already planning for the 2025-2026 season. The spotlight is on potential acquisitions such as Alphonso Davies and Florian Wirtz.

Real Madrid has earmarked around €100 million for these future signings, particularly focusing on a midfielder for the next season. It is becoming increasingly likely that veterans like Luka Modric and Dani Ceballos may not continue with the team beyond the current season.

Targeting Top Talent

The strategy is to allocate these funds not only for securing Alphonso Davies, who would potentially be a free transfer if his current contract situation aligns, but also for acquiring a top-quality midfielder. The club is looking for a midfielder with a style similar to Luka Modric or Toni Kroos—creative, skillful, and capable of dictating the pace of the game.

Florian Wirtz is seen as a potential fit for this role. Although he often plays more as an attacking midfielder or a second striker, his versatility and technical abilities might make him an ideal candidate for Real Madrid’s long-term vision in midfield.

Real Madrid’s proactive approach and careful planning underline their commitment to maintaining their competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions for years to come.
