Official Xabi Alonso is clear that he wants him at Real Madrid right now: The next one is him.


 According to Marca, as Real Madrid gears up for the Club World Cup, head coach Xabi Alonso has made a definitive statement regarding his squad's needs.

In a recent interview, Alonso emphasized the importance of Brazilian defender Éder Militao, declaring, "He's the next one" that the team needs to reinforce their ambitions for the season.

Alonso's early tenure as manager has yielded positive results, with the team qualifying for the knockout stages of the tournament as group leaders.

However, the Basque coach has faced challenges, including key absences and the lack of some requested signings. Despite these setbacks, Alonso remains optimistic about his squad's potential.

Recent reports from AS, indicate that Militao is on the verge of a "reintegration" into the team.

After being sidelined for seven months due to a serious injury, the 27-year-old defender has returned to full training and is expected to be included in the next squad list.

"What Éder Militao wants is a calm return," Alonso noted, emphasizing the importance of not rushing the player back into action to avoid any potential relapses.

Militao's recovery has been closely monitored by the coaching staff, who believe he can regain his form and become a pivotal figure in the team's defense.

"Xabi Alonso sees Militao as an experienced defender, with authority and the physical ability to lead the backline," a source close to the team revealed.

The coach is keen on building a solid defensive unit, and Militao is poised to play a crucial role alongside promising young talent Dean Huijsen.

The competition for starting positions in the defense will be fierce, particularly between Militao and Antonio Rüdiger.

As the season progresses, it appears that Raúl Asencio may find himself in a more secondary role.

Nevertheless, Militao is approaching the upcoming season with ambition, fully aware that his experience and performance could be decisive in establishing himself as the defensive leader in this new chapter for Real Madrid.
