Joining the race late, Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid reportedly edged out Paris Saint-Germain to secure the signing of a 17-year-old Argentine wonderkid in a $57 million deal.

Xabi Alonso has focused on building a foundation for the future since his arrival to Real Madrid on May, using the same youth-first strategy that brought him success at Bayer Leverkusen.
