Real Madrid Transfer News Roundup: Bundesliga ace dreams of Los Blancos move, club receive Marc Guehi boost, and more - September 8, 2025

Real Madrid return to action on Saturday, September 13, with a trip to Reale Arena to face Real Sociedad in the league. Xabi Alonso's side have enjoyed a flawless start to the new campaign, winning all of their first three games.

Meanwhile, a Bundesliga midfielder dreams of moving to the Santiago Bernabeu. Elsewhere, Los Blancos have received a boost in their pursuit of Marc Guehi.

On that note, let's look at the major Real Madrid transfer stories from September 8, 2025.

Hugo Larsson ace dreams of Real Madrid move

Hugo Larsson wants to join Real Madrid, according to Defensa Central. The 21-year-old is one of the finest midfielders on the continent at the moment, and has caught the eye with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Larsson was wanted in the Middle East in the summer, and has previously confirmed that he turned down a chance to join Al-Ittihad. Los Blancos are also among his suitors, although there are no immediate plans to move for the Swede.

The LaLiga giants are expected to invest in a new midfielder in 2026 after focusing mostly on the backline in the recent transfer window. Real Madrid lost Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in back-to-back summers and have already shortlisted multiple candidates for the job.

Apart from Larsson, Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, and AZ Alkmaar midfielder Kees Smit are apparently on their radar as well. Los Blancos are expected to monitor the player in the coming months before making a decision on their next move. Larsson, meanwhile, dreams of playing for the LaLiga giants, so a move could materialize next year if he holds on to his high standards.

Los Blancos receive Marc Guehi boost

Marc Guehi would prefer to join Real Madrid if a move to Liverpool does not happen, says Defensa Central. The English defender was a step away from moving to Anfield this summer, but the deal ultimately failed to cross the line.

Guehi has been outstanding for Crystal Palace in recent years, but his contract runs out at the end of this season. With no renewal in sight, the 25-year-old is expected to leave Selhurst Park in 2026.

Given his contract situation, there's no dearth of interest in Guehi's services, with Liverpool also expected to return for him next year. However, should he fail to join the Reds, the player would like to move to Real Madrid instead.

The LaLiga giants will be delighted with the news, especially since they have developed a knack for picking up talented players for free in recent times.

Brahim Diaz unsettled at Santiago Bernabeu

Brahim Diaz is unimpressed after dropping behind Franco Mastantuno in the pecking order under Xabi Alonso, according to Fichajes. The 26-year-old grew in prominence in the tail end of last season, and was expected to play a key role under Xabi Alonso.

However, the arrival of Mastantuono from River Plate over the summer has pushed him down the pecking order. Alonso has preferred to use the Argentine ahead of Diaz this season so far.

The situation has added to the Morocco international's frustrations, and he is now considering his future at Real Madrid.
