Real Madrid ‘plot £41m move’ for Man United regular as alternative to TAA

Real Madrid are reportedly considering a move for a Manchester United star as a possible alternative to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Madrid are still linked with a move for Alexander-Arnold, whose contract expires this summer.

The 25-year-old has yet to sign a new contract and will be free to talk to foreign clubs from January 1.

However, Relevo reports that Los Blancos are losing some hope with Liverpool riding high under new manager Arne Slot and Alexander-Arnold a hometown hero.

The Reds are nine points clear at the top of the Premier League and have a two-point lead at the top of the Champions League.

Their form could see Alexander-Arnold change his mind about a new contract and now Madrid are looking at other possible additions in the position.

Diogo Dalot has been one of the few players to impress at United in recent times, with Madrid valuing him at around £41 million.

The report adds that United were even approached by the 15-time Champions League winners about Dalot while Erik ten Hag was still in charge.
