Real Madrid have completed the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold!

Slapped by FC Barcelona last Sunday (2-5) in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid seems to have reached certain limits in terms of strength, particularly in defense. While Dani Carvajal will be unavailable until the end of the season and veteran Lucas Vazquez can no longer take on the role of potential starter, the Merengues hoped to recruit Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool right-back is free at the end of the season and is in a contractual situation favorable to Real Madrid.

This issue has been talked about in Spain and England for weeks and TAA is clearly not spared by British observers. He is accused of wanting to leave the Reds without bringing in any money. Because Liverpool were clear. Despite the upcoming end of Alexander-Arnold's contract, the Mersey club does not want to let go of its defender during the season. Coach Arne Slot even thinks that it is not impossible to see TAA rebuff Casa Blanca.

Madrid has everything locked down for next summer

«If it's impossible for Arnold to say no to Real Madrid? I think there was one player at the time (Steven Gerrard) that they would have really liked to have had… but he didn't come. And you know him better than me. So it already happened“. Unfortunately for Slot, the star presenter ofThe ChiringuitoJosep Pedrerol, dropped a bomb last night. Trent Alexander-Anrold will play for Real Madrid next season, the Merengues have everything locked down. An agreement has been reached with the player and Madrid are certain of being able to count on his services from next summer.

However, Pedrerol, who is close to Florentino Pérez, adds that Real Madrid is still ready to take out the checkbook to recruit TAA this winter, if Liverpool agrees to let him go in exchange for a sum of between €25 and €30 million. A scenario in which the Merengues no longer believe, however. According to information from Relevo, the leaders of the White House believe that it is mission impossible and believe that Liverpool, who are still in the race in the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, will not do so. will not give in in January. The Merengues will therefore be content to quietly wait for the end of the player's contract to recover him for free, as they are doing with Kylian Mbappé.
