Alexander-Arnold is the star of one of the season’s longest-running soap operas due to his possible signing for Real Madrid, and the outcome is getting closer to being clear. There are only three months left of his contract with Liverpool, and England assumes that his future will be painted white.
Alexander-Arnold, a necessary footballer
Alexander-Arnold is at what is known as his peak athletic level, he is 26 years old, he will turn 27 in October, and in his career as a professional he has proven to be one of the best right backs in the world. We are talking about a fast footballer, with great attacking potential, with an impressive strike of the ball – he is one of the players in charge of set pieces at Liverpool – and who can also play as a winger and a midfielder.
Real Madrid are waiting for Dani Carvajal, but there is no doubt that the Whites need to strengthen this position in the squad. The severe injury to his right knee, in addition to his age, are more than enough arguments to look for an alternative for the next 5 years at least. On the other hand, Lucas Vázquez has had to take the reins in that position, and he has shown that, especially in important matches, he does not have the capacity to face this position with guarantees and we will see if he ends up renewing with the white team or puts an end to his time at Real Madrid.
From England they take the transfer for granted
From the United Kingdom they take it for granted that Alexander-Arnold will play for Real Madrid next season. The English footballer has rejected the numerous offers of renewal he has received from Liverpool, and would be delighted to wear the white shirt. In addition, the presence of Bellingham in the team is another point in favor of his arrival, as he could help him adapt.
The latest to comment on his signing is the journalist Fabrizio Romano, who has been warning of this move since last season and now seems to be closer to confirmation. His latest post on social network X is devastating:
This post redirects to another one published in March a year ago:
“Real Madrid are monitoring Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contractual situation with Liverpool. His current contract expires in June 2025 and there are no negotiations underway at the moment. Liverpool have not shown any interest in selling at the moment. So far, there is no indication of the player’s opinion.”
Real Madrid are already thinking about next season
While the Real Madrid squad faces the final stretch of the season alive in all three competitions – Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League – the club’s offices are already planning for next season. The club is giving out very little information, but it seems that the positions they are looking to strengthen are the defense and the midfield, especially a defensive midfielder who is capable of acting as a stopper and who also has good judgment when it comes to bringing the ball out of defense. However, we will have to wait until the end of the current campaign to see what decisions are made at the offices in Valdebebas.
Real Madrid will try to maintain their policy of signing young players with great potential, or players whose contracts are coming to an end so they can pay as little as possible for them. They are aware that they cannot compete financially with the Premier League or with teams like PSG, so it is time to maintain the policy initiated years ago that is yielding such good results and continue to make the club’s history even greater.
