Well it seems as if one man's mistake has ended up benefiting the other, there is no way the Real Madrid president could have successfully convinced me that the club has lots of midfielders because if you check the entire squad then you would notice that valverde is the only midfielder left in the squad after the departure of Luka modric from Real Madrid and it was highly anticipated that Xabi Alonso was going to convince his former midfielder to join him in Spain but instead they lost him to Liverpool.

My guess is that Xabi will try to get Wirtz into the squad. Because Wirtz is familiar with Xabi's tactics. He was able to score a lot of goals and assists last season. But Liverpool spent a lot of money to get Wirtz into the squad.
Toni Kroos left Madrid last season. Modrich is also going to leave Madrid this season. Madrid have lost their two best midfielders. And Madrid do not have a worthy replacement for these two experienced midfielders. Madrid have strengthened their attack and defense. But Alonso has not taken any steps to strengthen the midfield yet.

Exactly where the problem lies, in modern football the heart of the midfield is the most vital structure of every football team and once you lose the midfield to the opposition then you are done for , I expect Alonso to understand this theory and get some reliable midfielders to help fortify the team for the upcoming season because if this is not done then he might not stay on till mid season, I doubt.

I understand your point but Madrid's problem last season wasn't lack of quality Midfielders it was defense cause most of their defenders got injured and it made that area very porous that's why the first area they've focused more on is the defense and they've done their best to strengthen it by adding young quality players. The transfer window is still open and there's still time to focus on other areas but then I don't think Real Madrid need Wirtz when they already have Jude Bellingham a quality Midfielder that can play the role of Wirtz very well in Real Madrid.
