Just after finalizing the deal for Mbappe, Real Madrid targets the Premier League’s ‘crossing machine’ to build Galacticos 3.0.
2 min read(Galacticos 3.0.)Trent Alexander-Arnold is facing the opportunity to join Real Madrid as the La Liga giants are in talks to sign the Liverpool star.
Real Madrid’s interest in Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold is becoming more concrete amid uncertainty about his future at Anfield. According to journalist Christian Falk of Bild, Los Blancos’ attention towards the 25-year-old is intensifying. Alexander-Arnold himself is reportedly open to considering the transfer. This comes as the English player’s current contract with Liverpool has only one year left.
Alexander-Arnold has quickly approached legendary status at Liverpool, but this season could be his last if he doesn’t sign a new contract, as his current terms expire in 2025. A product of Liverpool’s academy, he has been a key player for several years. However, with manager Jurgen Klopp resigning last season, Alexander-Arnold might also be looking for a change.
Alexander-Arnold helped England reach the Euro 2024 final this month and has made 310 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 19 goals during his time at the club. The defender debuted for the first team in the 2016/17 campaign, and many Liverpool fans hope he will continue to contribute significantly this season.
After England’s loss to Spain in the Euro final, Alexander-Arnold will have some rest before returning to prepare for Liverpool’s pre-season campaign. It remains unclear whether he will stay with the club as Liverpool begins a new era under manager Arne Slot.
Real Madrid urgently needs to bolster their defense, and Alexander-Arnold is considered one of the best full-backs in the world today. With his precise crossing ability and agility, he would be an ideal addition to Real Madrid’s lineup in their effort to build Galacticos 3.0. Moreover, with his experience in major competitions like the Champions League and Euro, Alexander-Arnold would bring stability and creativity to the defense of the Spanish royal team.
If this transfer goes through, it would be a significant milestone in Alexander-Arnold’s career, offering him the chance to challenge himself in a new environment and continue his career development. For Liverpool, losing a key player like Alexander-Arnold would be a substantial challenge, but the Reds must be ready with replacement options if the deal becomes a reality.
