Real Madrid reportedly has 'accelerated conversations' with Liverpool about an early transfer for Trent Alexander-Arnold in the hope that he can play for Los Blancos during this summer's club.
The Spanish giants are said to be to the right before his contract officially proceeds on 30 June.
However, Liverpool is determined to keep a fee if the Reds have to release him early, since he will leave his youth side as a free agent.
According to a report from The Times on Thursday evening, Real's wish could close the arrival of Alexander-Arnold a deal within the next 24 hours.
Xabi Alonso-Die Carlo Ancelotti replaced in the Spanish capital after the latter's decision to manage the national team of Brazil-Wil the 26-year-old in his team for their first match of the new tournament against Al-Hilal in Miami on June 18.
Alexander-Arnold could be allowed thanks to the establishment of a special transfer star by FIFA from 1 June to 10 June, specifically for the Club World Cup.
Figures at Real are said that he wants him to be officially their player before he joins the English World Cup qualifying match against Andorra and their subsequent friendly friendship with Senegal next week.
That is after Liverpool has rejected an approach to Los Merengues to sign Alexander-Arnold during the January transfer window.
The Reds refused to start negotiations on Alexander-Arnold that early departure, given their focus on the Premier League, which they eventually won at a canter.
That was despite an willingness from Real to Fork from £ 20 million for his services six months ago.
The approaching arrival of Alexander-Arnold follows the large coup that Real was completed by announcing Alonso as their new manager.
Considered as one of the most gifted coaches in world football, he has already welcomed defender Dean Huijsen in the club after he had activated his £ 50 million release clause to see him sign from Bournemouth.
Alonso – who played for both Liverpool and Real during a good career as a central midfielder – will officially take on his new post on 1 June.
He will sign a three -year contract, which runs until June 2028.
The Spaniard was strongly connected to the club after he had impressed his first job in management at Bundesliga Side Bayer Leverkusen.
In his first season at the helm in 2023-24, he led them to the title unbeaten because they could not lose any match.
The resulting vacancy in Bayer Leverkusen is said to be filled by ex-manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, where the Dutchman was out of management since he was fired by the Red Devils in October.
He was fired earlier this season while Man United 14th was in the Premier League after winning only four of their opening 14 games.
