According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid is closely monitoring Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold and could make a move for him in the summer if the opportunity arises.
Fabrizio Romano Re-Affirms Real Madrid’s Interest In Liverpool Ace Trent Alexander-Arnold
In recent weeks, reports have surfaced linking Real Madrid with a potential move for Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold. With Dani Carvajal aging and Lucas Vazquez serving as a makeshift right-back, Real Madrid is looking to reinforce that position in the upcoming transfer window, with Alexander-Arnold being a key target.
Previously, Romano confirmed Real Madrid’s interest in Alexander-Arnold and reiterated this in his latest Daily Briefing column. While Real Madrid has not made a formal offer for the 25-year-old, they continue to monitor the situation closely.
Romano stated:
“Finally, as some fans have asked again about Trent Alexander-Arnold, I’m afraid I have no update in this moment – as I said weeks ago Real Madrid are following the situation but nothing else in terms of talks or contact so far. Let’s see what Liverpool will now do to keep a crucial player for them, a top player.”
Arne Slot Could Have Final Say Trent Alexander-Arnold Saga
The summer of 2024 will mark a new era at Liverpool, as Jurgen Klopp will be succeeded by Arne Slot as manager. This change could potentially lead to some players, including Mohamed Salah, seeking opportunities elsewhere. Alexander-Arnold, who flourished under Klopp’s system, may also face uncertainty under Slot, who could prioritize defensive solidity at right-back.
If Slot opts for a more defensively sound right-back, Alexander-Arnold could face increased competition and potentially reconsider his future at Liverpool. This could open the door for Real Madrid to make a move for the talented right-back.
Alexander-Arnold has been a mainstay at Liverpool, featuring in 307 games across all competitions, scoring 19 goals and providing 81 assists. He has been one of the top fullbacks in England, leading in assists since the 2016-17 season.
