Spanish giant Real Madrid ate looking at making an official bid for Liverpool’s right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold following Dani Carvajal’s serious knee injury.
Dani Carvajal suffered a nasty knee injury in Madrid’s win over Villarreal and will now miss the rest of the season. The Spaniard injury leaves Lucas Vazquez as the only natural option in the position.
The Los Blancos are now eager to bring in a new right-back in January so as to fill in the missing void.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is Madrid’s preffered right-back but it’ll take a lot to convince Liverpool to sell in January.
According to Marca, Real Madrid will make their move for Alexander-Arnold in January, but only if he has not signed a renewal by that stage. If the option is open, they will make him a contract offer, with a view to securing his services from the 2025-26 season.
The report indicated that if a pre-contract agreement is reached, only then would Real Madrid consider trying to sign Alexander-Arnold with immediate effect.
However, they would only do so if the price was right – if Liverpool’s asking price was too high, they would simply wait to acquire his services in the summer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer but the move collapse as Liverpool were not willing to sell.
The England international has put the failed summer move behind him and has continued his impressive form with Liverpool under the guidance of new manager, Arne Slot.
