Real Madrid closely monitoring €70 million-rated Liverpool ace’s situation

Real Madrid are always alert to promising market opportunities, as was seen by their free-transfer signings of David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger in recent transfer windows.

Coming into this summer, Los Blancos have been credited with an interest in another free agent, Adrien Rabiot, as a possible reinforcement in midfield.

The Merengues are also looking at Alphonso Davies as a target, considering his contract at Bayern Munich expires in 2025, with the idea being to sign him for a cut-price fee this summer or for free next year.

Real Madrid watching Trent Alexander-Arnold

Now, Fabrizio Romano (h/t Madrid Xtra) reports that Real Madrid are also closely monitoring the situation of Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The England international finds himself in a similar situation to that of Davies, with his contract expiring in 2025 and talks over an extension still not taking place.

As such, Romano states that Real Madrid have been keenly watching the developments around the right-back since March.

The presence of Jude Bellingham could become a crucial factor, with the English pair being very close friends and the midfielder speaking highly of Real Madrid to the Liverpool man.

Real Madrid are thus waiting to see what happens between Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool with the club eventually needing a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal in the near future.

The names of Reece James and Achraf Hakimi have also been discussed as possible options for the future, but Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation would make him a much more appealing target for the reigning European champions.
