Liverpool star keen on Real Madrid move as Los Blancos step up interest
La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Tuesday been tipped to add to their defensive ranks, by way of another altogether high-profile signing.
The player tipped to take his talents to Spain’s capital with a view to next season? Trent Alexander-Arnold.
As per a report from transfer insider Christian Falk, Real Madrid are ready to ‘get concrete’ with their efforts to bring Alexander-Arnold to the Santiago Bernabéu.
As much, it would appear, comes amid a search for a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal at right-back.
Liverpool, their part, are understandably keen to keep hold of a player who has long established himself as a key performer on Merseyside.
But the 25-year-old himself is not against the prospect of seeking out a new challenge.
TAA, as a result, is yet to commit to a contract extension, ahead of the expiration of his current Liverpool terms in 12 months’ time.
A close friend of Jude Bellingham, the defender has therefore been earmarked as a market opportunity on the part of Florentino Pérez and co, who are understood to have been encouraged by the feedback provided since first making contact with Alexander-Arnold’s entourage last month.
