Although the addition of a centre-back would enhance the team’s depth, a new signing appears unlikely after coach Carlo Ancelotti stated that the squad is now complete.
However, the Merengues are known for their long-term planning, and the club recognizes the necessity of signing a right-back in the near future. Given the ages of their current options, Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez, securing a new right-back will be essential.
With Real Madrid setting their sights on a star signing for the position, one of the candidates who has piqued their interest is Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Alexandre Arnold’s future up in the air
Now, according to AS Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future is clouded with uncertainty as he enters the final year of his contract with Liverpool.
Conor Bradley, an emerging talent at Liverpool, has looked mightily impressive in the pre-season and could jeopardize Alexander-Arnold’s future at Anfield.
Trent to team up with Bellingham at Real Madrid in 2025?
While the Englishman is not expected to hit the exit door this summer, his long-term future is uncertain, especially with emerging talents potentially ready to displace him.
As of now, Liverpool are open to renewing Alexander-Arnold’s contract but refuse to offer an extravagant salary. The right-back is aware of interest from other top clubs, including Real Madrid.
Presently, Alexander-Arnold holds the cards. He can either renew his contract with Liverpool, who will likely make an offer, or wait for interest from major clubs like Real Madrid.
Considering Los Blancos’ need for a young right-back in the future, the 25-year-old could become a key target for Real Madrid, especially if he decides to explore new opportunities.
In fact, his strong relationship with Jude Bellingham could influence his decision to join Madrid, as reports have suggested that Alexander-Arnold is tempted by the prospect of reuniting with his English compatriot in the Spanish capital.
Liverpool know they might lose out if Alexander-Arnold seeks a new challenge, that too for a free next year if he does not renew.
