Real Madrid has been working for several months on signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, and their conviction is that a deal is almost closed. The English right back sees its Liverpool contract expired at the end of the season, and at the moment it seems likely that he will go to the Santiago Bernabeu like a free agent in the summer.
There is little doubt that Alexander-Arnold would be a perfect signature for Real Madrid, given that they need a new right back to replace the aging duo of Dani Carvajal, currently with an ACL injury, and Lucas Vazquez . However, the club received a solid rest of the shortcomings that the 26-year-old has during Sunday's game between Manchester City and Liverpool, who won the visitor 2-0.
Alexander-Arnold had a very difficult afternoon in the Etihad Stadium against Jeremy Doku of Man City. According to Relo, he was drunk during the 90 minutes after the 90 minutes, and this is a record for the Premier League this season.
The report states that this implementation can serve as a “warning” for Real Madrid, and it strengthens what they have to work with with Alexander-Arnold if he makes the move from Liverpool at the end of the season.
Real Madrid is lucky in the sense that they will have Carvajal for at least a few years from this summer, so that he can act as a mentor for Alexander-Arnold. He could even be familiar with the Englishman in large matches against Tricky Wingers such as Doku, just like Federico Valverde, who has impressed the position in recent weeks.
Alexander-Arnold is still relatively young, and his defensive skills can certainly be improved if he joins Real Madrid this summer. If he does, he would have the facilities to make the necessary adjustments and changes, although Liverpool did not give up to keep him.
