Florentino Pérez Crosses His Fingers to Secure the First Major Acquisition of the Next Season, following the failed signing of Alphonso Davies.
The Canadian full-back played with Real Madrid and used his interest to extract an astronomical salary from Bayern. At the white club, they hope the story doesn't repeat with Alexander-Arnold, who would also arrive for free at Bernabéu.
Alexander-Arnold and Carvajal Are Compatible on the Same Team
Carlo Ancelotti already longs for the arrival of the Liverpool full-back, in whom he has placed many hopes due to his versatility.
Reports speak of one of the best full-backs in the world overlapping on the wing, but with defensive gaps. Something like Marcelo, which makes Carvajal indispensable for his defensive reliability and attacking effectiveness.
The idea of Carlo Ancelotti is to line up Carvajal and Alexander-Arnold together. The Madrid full-back is expected to be at full performance at the start of the next season. Ancelotti reserves his right-back position for him.
Alexander-Arnold's Arrival Will Leave a Casualty at Real Madrid
For Alexander-Arnold, he has other plans, which directly affect Aurélien Tchouaméni. The still Liverpool player perfectly adapts to any position in the defense. Including the defensive pivot position, which Tchouaméni usually occupies.
That is the role Ancelotti reserves for him at Real Madrid for the next season. He will play in front of the defense, becoming the last striker and the first defender when the opponent has the ball.
Ancelotti believes that, in addition to strength, Alexander-Arnold offers him greater judgment in game distribution. The English international is capable of making 50-meter (164 ft.) passes that are beyond the reach of the Frenchman.
They Offer 50 Million for Tchouaméni
And the Italian coach is already savoring the thought of Alexander-Arnold's deep passes in the white jersey. He already sees Vinícius, Mbappé, or Rodrygo taking advantage of his passes on the counterattack.
The collateral damage caused by Alexander-Arnold's arrival will be the inevitable departure of Aurélien Tchouaméni. PSG would be willing to bid for him, although it wouldn't exceed half of what the French international cost at the time: 100 million euros.
