Real Madrid prioritized signing exciting young talent this summer to kick off a new era under Xabi Alonso.
After making zero moves back in January, Real Madrid turned to the transfer market following their poor 2024–25 campaign. The Spanish giants welcomed Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Franco Mastantuono and Álvaro Carreras this summer, effectively rebuilding their depleted backline.
The club also saw a change in leadership. Alonso returned to the Santiago Bernabéu to take over his former club while Carlo Ancelotti bid farewell to the Spanish capital as the winningest manager in Real Madrid history.
The new faces at the biggest club in the world made it a transfer window to remember for Los Blancos.
