One by one, new players are now being introduced by Madrid and this is a step that indicates that they are serious about making a difference next season so that what happened this season does not happen again.

Although Huijsen's price tag seems quite high for a 20-year-old player, I can't deny that it's worth it for me, especially in today's market where sometimes big prices are always the benchmark.
With Huijsen in the current squad at least Madrid are quite serious about overhauling their defense which was a little weak last season due to several things including injuries to several players and now they have enough alternatives for that so that Xabi will not feel too much of a headache especially Carvajal and Militao are also recovering even though they still have to wait for adaptation again after 1 season of absence.

The defense was more than due for Real Madrid and they needed some new players there as it mostly consistent of old veterans, but the truth also is that they had a high number of injuries that was hard to expect. When Alaba, Carvajal and Militao are inured at the same time and some other players who could temporarily replace them are injured as well, then it is difficult and complicated for every big name club out there. The bench is only so long and if it is already filled with many stars, which it is at Real Madrid, huge trouble becomes real once a serious of injuries happens.

They still benefit from their big name though and have less of a hard time to be the first to pick at the transfer market. Most players still want to go there if they get the chance to do it, but seeing how some other teams develop, especially Barcelona, it is an urgency for Real Madrid to make the team become much better as fast as possible of course.

Alaba is too often injured so that he is not really able to perform optimally when he plays because in the matches before the end of the season it was even seen how Alaba was sometimes always inconvenienced when he played so it really needs other player options, for the problem of Carvajal and Militao's injuries also this is a risk especially for Militao this is the second time he has injured the ACL which of course this gives a skepticism for his performance after injury and Carvajal who is no longer young can also be one of the problems later.

But in this case, with Madrid bringing in several players including Dean Huijsen and TAA who are certain to be in the defense and there are rumors about Álvaro Carreras as well which are still quite busy making this a signal that this season it seems that Madrid does not want to play around especially for the squad in their defense.

In attack, although there are still some problems, Mbappe still has great hopes and the arrival of Mastantuono in midfield makes the line-up competition more interesting.
It's interesting to see how Xabi's scheme will work and it's possible that for the Club World Cup there will be some changes or new schemes shown by Madrid.
