Real Madrid is reportedly eyeing a potential move for Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract situation is being closely monitored by the Spanish giants. Alexander-Arnold's current deal with Liverpool is set to expire in June 2025, with no ongoing talks for an extension at the moment.
While Liverpool has not shown any intention to sell the talented right-back, Real Madrid is keeping a close watch on the situation. Talks to renew Alexander-Arnold's contract had reportedly begun in September, but no agreement was reached amidst interest from both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
As of now, Alexander-Arnold is free to negotiate with other clubs starting from the turn of 2025. Real Madrid, if making a move, could potentially aim to secure the player for a reduced fee this summer or wait to sign him on a free transfer for the 2025/2026 season.
Real Madrid is also actively pursuing the free transfer of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain, with the French forward set to leave the club on June 30. Additionally, the Spanish club has been linked with Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, who is in a similar contractual situation to Alexander-Arnold.
Davies reportedly has a verbal agreement in place with Real Madrid's president, Florentino Perez, despite Bayern Munich's efforts to extend his contract beyond June 2025. If Madrid secures both Alexander-Arnold and Davies, they could potentially have one of the best full-back pairings in the world.
Alexander-Arnold is seen as a potential successor to Dani Carvajal at Real Madrid, whose contract also expires in June next year. The situation is evolving, and it remains to be seen how the negotiations will unfold in the coming months.
