Florentino Eyes Liverpool: Alexander-Arnold Isn't the Favorite — Luka Modric Trembles

Real Madrid sets its sights on Anfield, however, an unexpected name could change Florentino Pérez's plans

Florentino Pérez is still searching for the best talent to strengthen Real Madrid. At Anfield, there are several options that have caught his attention. However, the final decision doesn't seem as clear as one might expect.

The initial priority seemed to be Alexander-Arnold, considered one of the best right-backs in the world. However, in recent days, a different interest has emerged in another Liverpool star. This could change the plans of Madrid's president.

Who's Florentino's Real Favorite?

Although Alexander-Arnold remains an option that will eventually happen, another name has taken center stage in recent meetings. This emerging talent is one of the most coveted desires in European soccer. Florentino is alert, but Liverpool seems determined to keep him.

His profile fits perfectly with Real Madrid's needs to strengthen their midfield. He wouldn't only bring freshness but also tactical versatility to compete at the highest level. That said, Luka Modric would become less important.

Gravenberch, the Surprise on the Priority List

Ryan Gravenberch is the man who has caught the attention of both Liverpool and Real Madrid. The young Dutchman, known for his great technical quality and vision of the game, is emerging as the favorite of the English team.

Gravenberch also fits into Florentino's long-term strategy, which aims to build a midfield that combines young talent with experience. This interest, however, raises doubts about Modric's future at Madrid.

Luka Modric, Facing Uncertainty in the Midfield

Meanwhile, Luka Modric is experiencing a season full of uncertainties about his role at Real Madrid. The possible arrival of new talents could further limit his minutes. The Croatian remains a reference, but Madrid's commitment to youth is becoming increasingly evident.

The future of Real Madrid's midfield is at stake. Modric, with his experience and leadership, will have to adapt or make way for the new generations that Florentino seeks to incorporate.

Arnold or Gravenberch? Florentino's Dilemma

Deciding between Alexander-Arnold and Gravenberch won't be easy for Florentino Pérez. Both represent safe bets but cover different needs. While Arnold would strengthen the defensive line, Gravenberch could revolutionize Real Madrid's midfield.

Liverpool is also playing its cards. Keeping Gravenberch seems a priority for them, although they know that an offer from Real Madrid could change everything.

Florentino is determined to continue betting on young talents that ensure a bright future. The possible incorporation of Gravenberch would mark a before and after in Madrid's renewal strategy.

The outcome of this interest will be known in the coming weeks when both clubs define their priorities. Meanwhile, Luka Modric, a Madrid icon, watches as the midfield is reconfigured and prepares for what's to come.
