According to Central defenseXabi Alonso, at the head of Casa Blanca, begins to feed certain reserves with regard to Asencio. The former resident of the Fábrica would not have fully convinced his coach, especially after unconvincing performances during the Club World Cup.

The young Dean Huijsen, who arrived this summer from Bournemouth, would hold the rope to occupy the central hinge. However, this does not prevent the Basque technician from claiming additional reinforcement in this sector.
To strengthen the rear guard, two names stand out: Ibrahima Konaté, whose contract with Liverpool expires in 2026, and William Saliba, linked to Arsenal until 2027. If the track leading to the old Marseillais runs out of steam, that of the pillar of the Reds could well resume vigor for a free arrival in the summer of 2026.
