Real Madrid will soon be in the market for a new right-back. Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez, who renewed his contract on Thursday, are 32 and 33 respectively, so a long-term successor will be required in the next year or two. Right now, the best-placed target is Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Alexander-Arnold’s representatives have already held talks with Real Madrid officials, and he could end up being a very enticing market opportunity for Los Blancos – his contract expires next summer, and so far, any renewal agreement appears to be far off.
According to information from the Independent, Alexander-Arnold is unsure of his Liverpool future. He could be prepared to delay a renewal in order to see the club’s progress under new manager Arne Slot, Jurgen Klopp’s successor. The option to join Real Madrid is said to be “increasing tempting” for the English international.
Jude Bellingham could be used to sell Alexander-Arnold on the move to Real Madrid. The pair are very close friends, and the prospect of being club teammates is something that could weigh on the latter’s mind. There’s no doubt that this is a story that should be monitored over the coming months.
