Europe is in chaos tonight after a bombshell report from Fabrizio Romano sent shockwaves through the football world ā Xabi Alonso has just handed the Real Madrid board his most ambitious transfer request yet. Following a heartbreaking Champions League night at Anfield, the Spanish tactician has reportedly demanded the signing of four midfielders to completely reshape the heart of Los Blancos ā and two of them are none other than Liverpoolās biggest stars.
According to Romano, Alonso made the request directly to president Florentino PĆ©rez within 24 hours of Madridās dramatic UCL defeat. āThis isnāt reactionary,ā a source close to the manager told Spanish outlet AS. āItās revolution. Xabi saw weaknesses, and heās done analyzing ā heās acting.ā

The list of targets, which has now leaked online, reads like a dream ā or a nightmare, depending on which club you support. The Liverpool duo? Reportedly Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, two of Arne Slotās most trusted lieutenants before his departure. Both players impressed Alonso during their recent clashes, showing the kind of pressing intelligence, passing precision, and tactical discipline he craves for his evolving Real Madrid system.
Sources say Alonso was particularly struck by Mac Allisterās ability to dictate tempo under pressure and Szoboszlaiās explosiveness in transition ā qualities he believes Real Madrid desperately need after being overrun in midfield during the second leg at Anfield. āHe wants energy, leadership, and control ā he thinks these two can give him all three,ā one insider revealed.
But thatās not all. In whatās being described as a ācontinental coup,ā Alonso has also requested the signing of one Chelsea target, a player long on Madridās radar: Khephren Thuram, the French dynamo from OGC Nice. Thuramās name has been linked to several Premier League giants in recent months, but it appears Madrid now plan to hijack that race entirely.
āHeās young, strong, and fearless,ā a Madrid scout reportedly said. āAlonso sees him as the perfect long-term partner for Jude Bellingham.ā
The fourth name, though, is what truly sent fans into meltdown ā Joshua Kimmich. Yes, the Bayern Munich general and Alonsoās former teammate has been quietly approached through intermediaries. Reports suggest Alonso personally reached out to Kimmich to gauge his interest, and the German maestro didnāt rule it out. āIf anyone could convince Kimmich to leave Bayern, itās Xabi Alonso,ā an insider told Marca. āThey share the same football brain.ā

The plan, insiders say, is radical but calculated. Alonso reportedly wants to phase out Madridās aging core ā with Luka ModriÄ and Toni Kroos nearing retirement ā and build a completely new midfield dynasty centered around energy, tactical flexibility, and controlled chaos. āThis isnāt evolution,ā one club official admitted. āThis is a rebuild worthy of a manager who sees the game like a grandmaster.ā
Social media has erupted in disbelief and excitement. āMac Allister and Kimmich in one team? Thatās cheating,ā one fan tweeted. Another joked, āLiverpool fans better lock their doors ā Florentino PĆ©rez is coming.ā
Meanwhile, Liverpool supporters are furious. Losing two midfield pillars in one window would be devastating, especially with Klopp gone and a rebuild already underway. āIf Alonso pulls this off, heās officially a villain at Anfield,ā wrote one Liverpool fan forum. Others, however, canāt help but admire the boldness ā āThatās what great managers do,ā one comment read. āThey donāt react, they reinvent.ā

At Real Madridās training ground, the mood is reportedly mixed. Some veterans have been unsettled by the rumors, fearing that Alonsoās masterplan means their time is up. Yet younger stars like Bellingham and Camavinga are said to be thrilled at the idea of a new midfield era built on intensity and intelligence. āWe need that energy,ā one player told Spanish reporters. āItās what we lacked at Anfield.ā
As of tonight, negotiations are said to be in the āearly but seriousā stages, with PĆ©rez fully backing his managerās vision. Real Madridās transfer committee has reportedly allocated a record-breaking war chest to support Alonsoās blueprint, one that could exceed ā¬300 million. āFlorentino knows this is about more than signings,ā a club insider said. āItās about the future. Itās about ensuring Madrid dominates the next decade.ā
If Alonso pulls off this four-man midfield revolution, it could go down as one of the boldest rebuilds in modern football ā a move that redefines Real Madridās identity for years to come. From heartbreak at Anfield to plotting a European takeover, Xabi Alonso is proving heās not just a manager ā heās an architect of dynasties.
And as fans across Europe brace themselves for a summer of chaos, one truth is already clear: the Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid has only just begun ā and no one is safe.
