Jude Bellingham's absence, estimated to be between **ten and twelve weeks**, forces Real Madrid to look for alternatives in their most decisive area. With the Englishman out until October, Xabi Alonso is already working on the team's redesign. Two names are emerging strongly: **Arda Güler** and **Franco Mastantuono**.

The coach's idea is not about rotating but building. And doing it with both of them together. **Güler** has gained prominence after a Club World Cup where he showed **character, technique,** and **competitive maturity**. The Turkish player can take on different roles in midfield: as an **interior**, as a **midfielder**, and even reclaim his natural role as a **playmaker**. His progression since April has been steady. Of the 1,775 minutes he accumulated this season (not counting the Club World Cup), 30% came from matchday 33 onwards. He grew in the final stretch and is now prepared to take on more.

Simultaneously, the club has full confidence in **Mastantuono**. They believe he is not just a promising player but a present-day investment. The commitment is strong, and tactically he offers various possibilities: starting from the right in a 4-4-2 or playing centrally in a system of three center-backs and two wing-backs. The only constraint is time: **until August 14, the day he reaches legal age, he won't be able to join the group's dynamics**. But it is expected that his adaptation will be swift.

Both players offer a **complementary** profile: quality in passing, vision, and attacking prowess. Their coexistence in the starting eleven seems the most solid strategy to face the period without **Bellingham**. In the meantime, **Camavinga** will be the immediate option during the adaptation process of the Argentine. **His presence would move Güler to more advanced areas**, trusting the Frenchman to maintain balance in midfield.

The ones who are furthest from the spotlight are **Rodrygo** and **Brahim**. The Brazilian, with one foot out of the club, has lost importance in Xabi's plans. The coach needs immediate solutions. And today marks the start of a new era for Madrid: **learning to live without Bellingham**.
