Real Madrid have on numerous occasions been in contact with Trent Alexander-Arnold, one of the most outstanding full-backs on the list of the best players on the world scene. However, it now seems that at this stage of the season the British player will not be coming to the Santiago Bernabéu. Despite the fact that his current contract with Liverpool ends in 2025 and that his name has been linked to the Whites, recent moves have seen him move away from the Madrid orbit.
Alexander Arnold’s future takes a different course
Real Madrid have signed many players in their final years of contract, and could also have Alexander-Arnold among their targets. Despite this, the contractual situation of the England international has not evolved in the way that was expected, and the recent decisions made by the Merengue club would indicate that their gaze could be set on other areas of the pitch.
Alexander Arnold and Real Madrid’s transfer strategy
The Whites are keeping an eye on the transfer market with a conservative strategy given the strength of their current squad and the good chance of winning several titles this season. As such, the Madrid hierarchy is not considering signing any players, unless there is an unexpected loss or drastic changes in the way the squad itself behaves.
The attraction of English full-back Alexander-Arnold was compatible with Real Madrid’s plan to reinforce key positions with proven players. The return of Dani Carvajal, who has demonstrated his ability before his injury, could rethink the club’s needs. The sporting management also continues to trust in the progression of young players who could be important in the future.
One reason that keeps Alexander-Arnold away from Real Madrid is his desire to continue at Liverpool, although rumors of his departure are constant. The footballer has made several statements in which he shows his desire to continue in the English team at Anfield. This emotional and professional aspect could be decisive in deciding whether to renew his contract and continue his career in the Premier League. In addition, the player injured his knee last Tuesday in the match against PSG and will not be back until the end of the season. This is a setback that could be a major one and complicate his signing for the white club.
Real Madrid prioritizes other positions
While the possible arrival of Alexander-Arnold seems to be cooling down, Real Madrid has other things in mind when it comes to the transfer market. The sporting management aims to resolve the situation of the left back, one of the positions that generates certain doubts in the squad. The uncertainties surrounding the situation of Ferland Mendy and Fran García have led the club to consider other alternatives for that position.
They are also still considering the future of some important players such as Luka Modric, whose future is uncertain, and the possible arrival of a new coach if Carlo Ancelotti‘s work does not produce positive results. These decisions will directly affect the make-up of the squad for next season.
The chances of Alexander-Arnold ending up at Real Madrid seem increasingly remote. Without doubt the quality of this footballer and his playing ability would make him a reinforcement up to the task, but the club’s policy and the player’s circumstances at Liverpool make the signing quite difficult. In a constantly changing transfer market, the Whites continue to evaluate, for the moment only moving away from the options of the English full-back.
