Real Madrid continues working on their planning for the next season. The white team is looking to strengthen several positions, and one of the most prioritized seems to be defense. Although the club has several names on the table, one of the most talked-about in recent days is Alexander-Arnold, the right-back from Liverpool.
The English player is being closely watched by Real Madrid scouts, who may have identified him as the ideal reinforcement for the team for the next campaign. However, everything is still hanging in the air.
Although some rumors suggest that an agreement might already be closed, other voices indicate that nothing is confirmed yet. For now, Alexander-Arnold is waiting to decide his future, while Real Madrid remains expectant.
The Uncertain Future of Alexander-Arnold
The Liverpool footballer has been a key piece in Jürgen Klopp's scheme for years, standing out both for his offensive capability and his ability to generate assists. However, despite his great projection, his future at Liverpool is not so clear.
In recent months, there has been talk of his possible departure, and Real Madrid has shown interest in signing him.
The merengue club needs to strengthen their defense, and the option of Alexander-Arnold seems attractive due to his technical quality and his ability to adapt to different positions in the defensive line. However, his possible arrival at Santiago Bernabéu has been questioned by some recent events.
The Video That Changes Everything
A video that has circulated on social media has put Alexander-Arnold's signing in doubt. In the video, it shows how Jeremy Doku, from City, did whatever he wanted with the English right-back in the match against Liverpool, "He's a sieve."
The young French striker was unstoppable against the Liverpool defender, dribbling past him multiple times and exposing Alexander-Arnold's defensive difficulties.
This episode has been one of the main sources of debate among Real Madrid fans. In this match, Alexander-Arnold became the most dribbled player in a single Premier League game since these data began to be recorded in the 2015-16 season.
He was dribbled past 11 times, which has raised doubts about his defensive capability in demanding teams like Real Madrid.
