At Real Madrid there are no doubts. Trent Alexander-Arnold, considered alongside Carvajal and Alphonso Davies as one of the three best full-backs in the world, will play at Real Madrid.
Transfers Needed Now, Not in Summer
Everything is set for him to land alongside the Canadian from Bayern, Alphonso Davies, at Real Madrid this summer at zero cost. However, injuries and doubts about the team's performance have heightened the urgency at the club.
Florentino is happy with the agreement reached with Alexander-Arnold and Davies. However, if they arrive in summer, they'll face competition from Carvajal, Militão, and Alaba. There will be an excess of players in defense, although that's never a bad thing.
The problem for Real Madrid is that reinforcements in defense are welcome and necessary right now. From January to June.
For Real Madrid, there are no transition seasons. The club can't rely on the Virgin of Almudena to save the season with more titles than already achieved.
Real Madrid Isn't in the Mood for Nonsense
The crisis cabinet formed by Florentino Pérez, José Ángel Sánchez, and Carlo Ancelotti has concluded that Real Madrid isn't in the mood for nonsense. The club has maintained economic restraint in recent years precisely to spend in emergencies.
This is one. Telemadrid has reported that a delegation from the club will travel to Liverpool. The reason is to return with the transfer of Alexander-Arnold in a lightning operation.
"We can't continue with Lucas Vázquez, Tchouaméni as a center-back, and Asencio as a full-back," is the consensus reached. Real Madrid aspires to everything, with the best.
Liverpool needs the player for the remainder of the season because they have the same objectives as Real Madrid. But they know that if Alexander-Arnold doesn't leave before June 30, he'll leave for free without leaving a euro in the box.
Ancelotti Has been Promised He'll be under His Command This January
Real Madrid is willing to pay for a transfer that in five months will be free. The agreement with the player is complete. However, they don't want to reach the 70 million that the Anfield club is asking for.
Florentino is willing to offer 15 million according to Telemadrid. MB knows it'll reach 40 million, and it's very likely that their offer will be accepted if it reaches 50 million with variables.
The president has promised Ancelotti that Alexander-Arnold will be under his command this January. The intention of this trip to Liverpool isn't for tourism. The delegation is traveling to return with Alexander-Arnold no matter what.
