Florentino Pérez is not going to Liverpool for pleasure. In addition to representing Real Madrid as its visible head, he will try to negotiate an early arrival for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Best Two in the World after Carvajal
The transfer of the English international is a must for Real Madrid. The Liverpool full-back is arguably the best full-back in the world apart from Dani Carvajal.
But both Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez are already over 30 and the future must be considered. This is especially true in this position, considering Carvajal's medical history of injuries.
Alphonso Davies may arrive next summer at no cost to reinforce the left-back position. In that case, Alexander-Arnold is destined to be the right-back of the future at Real Madrid.Both are on a free transfer.
There was no problem with Real Madrid's plan to wait until June for both to arrive for free. However, injuries have made the arrival of the Englishman, who plays on the right wing, urgent.
Florentino Will Try to Bring his arrival Forward
Florentino Pérez will try to negotiate with Liverpool's owners to speed up the plan. In exchange, he will offer financial compensation to offset the loss of a player who would have left for free five months later.
The problem is that Liverpool is having a spectacular season, leading the Premier League table and eight points ahead of second-placed Manchester City.
In these circumstances, it will be difficult to let one of Liverpool's most valuable players go. They would normally want to keep him at all costs, although the president of Real Madrid will try anyway.
Total Commitment to Real Madrid
The player is fully committed to Real Madrid. Liverpool has tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to renew his contract in recent months.
Ancelotti likes Alexander-Arnold because he is very similar to the ideal full-back, who is none other than Dani Carvajal. Strong at the back, fast and capable of turning into a winger if necessary.
Liverpool has scored a large number of goals in recent years thanks to him, always taking advantage of his runs down the wing. He reaches the far end and delivering the ball to the teammate's head or foot.
He also has a goal-scoring skills and is a very accurate free-kicker. Ancelotti has no doubt that he will be a key pillar of Real Madrid's future.
In addition, his friendship with Jude Bellingham will make it much easier for him to adapt to a club as special as Real Madrid.
