Real Madrid have learned that they need to sign a new right-back soon. Current first-team options Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez are heading towards the twilight stages of their respective careers, so a successor must be on the agenda. At this stage, the most likely candidate is Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Los Blancos have been regularly linked with Alexander-Arnold in recent months. Their intention would be to sign him as a free agent next summer, just like theirs Liverpool the contract is due to expire in July.
According to ReliefReal Madrid officials have been in contact with Alexander-Arnold's representatives on several occasions. The intention was to understand what interested him in a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, where he will be joined by fellow England player Jude Bellingham.
Liverpool have tried desperately to agree a new contract with Alexander-Arnold, but so far, their efforts have been in vain. If Real Madrid can secure his services as a free agent, it would be a blockbuster signing, to say the least. At this stage, a decision is not expected for a few months.
