Carlo Ancelotti, for now, has his continuity guaranteed at Real Madrid until the end of the current season. It's true that he's experiencing challenging times on the bench, but Florentino Pérez still maintains his confidence practically intact in the Italian. It's true that the streak hasn't been good, especially after falling in the Spanish Super Cup, but everything seems to have turned around in LaLiga.
After the setbacks of Atlético and Barcelona, Real Madrid has the chance to climb to the top of the standings. To achieve this, they need to win this afternoon against UD Las Palmas at Santiago Bernabéu. Things are looking good now: coming back from the 0-1 before the first minute was up, and going into halftime with a wide lead of 3 to 1 on the scoreboard.
What's clear is that the best version of Mbappé is back: a brace in 45 minutes, one of them a penalty. However, the second was a real stunner, leading the momentary victory at Bernabéu against UD Las Palmas. While he even scored a third, it was disallowed for offside.
It's been Clear! Carlo Ancelotti Goes for Florentino against Las Palmas: "I Need..."
Carlo Ancelotti is satisfied with his team and believes it's high-level, but he considers that injuries have weakened it too much. That's why, even though he won't complain publicly, he has been clear with Florentino and has requested an immediate addition. The president is aware and is working on securing it, being in negotiations with Liverpool to bring forward the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose transfer is set for June 30.
The plan is clear, and according to sources close to Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti would like to have the English fullback as soon as possible. It's not easy, because Liverpool isn't budging and is setting a high price to accept his early sale.
Meanwhile, for now, Florentino isn't going beyond 15 million euros to sign him now, while Liverpool is asking for double: 30. The president wants to fulfilll his coach's request, but he knows it's complicated and has conveyed this to Ancelotti himself.
Alexander-Arnold, Deal Closed with Real Madrid
The president of Real Madrid closed a deal with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will soon sign for the next five seasons. Besides pocketing a significant transfer bonus (far from what was agreed with Mbappé), his salary will fit into the mid-high range of the wage bill. In this regard, to head to Bernabéu, the Englishman has rejected a much more lucrative contract from his Liverpool.
Trent Alexander-Arnold knew well the only two options and he didn't even considered the rest of them: go to Real Madrid or renew with Liverpool. The possibility of playing abroad, embarking on a new adventure far from his native England, has played an essential role. His friend Bellingham has also been key, speaking wonders about the Spanish capital and helping to convince him.
The plan was for him to arrive next season, but the urgent need has made Florentino Pérez take action. Trent Alexander-Arnold, to Real Madrid immediately if Florentino pays those 30 million euros.
