Real Madrid is close to officially introducing their first two signings of the summer: Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen. Barring any unexpected changes, their presentation is scheduled between Tuesday, June 10, and Thursday, June 12.
Though an official statement from the club is still pending, insiders confirm that preparations are already underway at Valdebebas. New manager Xabi Alonso is eager to begin preseason with a full squad, and both defenders are expected to be fully integrated by then.
Behind closed doors, the club is sorting out final arrangements, from administrative matters to coordinating the return of international players. The goal is to ensure a seamless transition and help both signings adapt swiftly to Real Madrid’s tactics and style of play.
Club president Florentino Pérez and the sporting directors view these signings as crucial to Alonso’s strategic blueprint and a powerful message in the transfer market. With uncertainty around veterans like Nacho and Rüdiger, the additions of Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen bring vital depth and quality to the backline.
Fans are now eagerly awaiting their unveiling at the Santiago Bernabéu during the second week of June—a moment that could signal the beginning of a new chapter under Xabi Alonso.
