“Trent Alexander-Arnold wants to play for Real Madrid” – Well-connected journalist on the future of the Liverpool star

Real Madrid and Liverpool are battling over the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold, and while there has been reported optimism in England that the Reds can strike a new deal, reports in Spain contradict this. The media connected to Los Blancos talk about this as a “when not yes” question about the future of Alexander-Arnold.

Friday, Marco he said that Trent Alexander-Arnold he had said Liverpool that he wanted to play for Real Madrid, and on Monday that was repeated in a new article. The well-connected Jose Felix Diaz, who tends to have the beat on Real Madrid, explains that everything is moving towards a happy ending for Real Madrid and Alexander-Arnold in June, with the England international able to sign with Los Blancos on Wednesday

From Real Madrid's perspective, the main question seems to be whether Liverpool will allow him to leave in January. Los Blancos will not make a move for another right-back, despite calls for reinforcements from Carlo Ancelotti following Dani Carvajal's season-ending injury. It looks like the Reds will not agree to a move in January.

After celebrating against West Ham with a “much talked about” gesture on Sunday, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said his celebration should be enough to say all that needs to be said on the matter. Many took the gesture as a sign that maybe some talk of a move or a new deal was false, but what is certain is that in the Spanish capital, there is a relaxed confidence that will get their man.
