Real Madrid are actively preparing for the 2025–26 season under new manager Xabi Alonso, who took the helm after Carlo Ancelotti’s departure in May. The club began their La Liga campaign with a 1–0 home win over Osasuna, courtesy of a penalty from Kylian Mbappé. Key summer signings include Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alvaro Fernandez, Franco Mastantuono, and Álvaro Carreras, marking one of the club’s biggest spending sprees in years[6].

In the transfer market, Real Madrid have invested over €178 million this summer, reinforcing the squad primarily in defense and midfield. The additions are set to help challenge for the La Liga title against rivals Barcelona. Meanwhile, longtime midfield stalwart Luka Modric has left for AC Milan, and Lucas Vázquez has departed as well[2][4][6].

The club continues to be linked with further moves, notably showing interest in Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. However, acquiring Wharton this window is considered unlikely due to his contract with Crystal Palace running until 2029 and strong competition from Manchester United[1][2].

Current transfer rumors also involve star forwards Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo. Although both have drawn interest from clubs such as those in the Saudi Pro League and Manchester City, Real Madrid have reopened contract talks with Vinicius Jr. and maintain that key players like Kylian Mbappé are not for sale, even in the face of record offers[3][5].

Alonso addressed speculation and team criticisms before their match against Real Oviedo, and there are hints that new signings could make their full debuts soon. Injuries continue to be a concern, but the squad is expected to see key players returning ahead of schedule[7].
