Real Madrid to Strengthen Squad in Key Area Following Request From Incoming Boss Xabi Alonso: Reports

Real Madrid intends to strengthen their midfield lineup this summer in response to a request from incoming manager Xabi Alonso.
The decision follows a frustrating season where the team lost the Copa del Rey final, ceded LaLiga to Barcelona, and exited the Champions League in the quarterfinals.
Midfield reinforcements are urgent given Toni Kroos' retirement, Luka Modric's uncertain contract, and underwhelming performances from younger midfielders like Camavinga and Tchouameni.
Real Madrid targets include Crystal Palace's 21-year-old Adam Wharton, who impressed despite injury and could cost around £60 million, while a PSG midfielder Vitinha remains a costly possibility at €130 million.
Although the club seeks a quality midfielder matching Alonso's style, the steep price tags and squad overhaul needs make a high-profile signing challenging this summer.
