It seems as good as done-liverpool right back Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the way to Real Madrid. From a contract at the end of the season, and after all Liverpool attempts to have him signed a new contract, Real Madrid rejected the appearance as if they are getting their husband at the end of a two -year chase.
Now the questions will turn to the fit of Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid. There have already been reports that veteran Lucas Vazquez is on their way to the club at the end of the season as a result, but the big question for next season is who right back will start. Dani Carvajal will be 33 this year and comes from the back of a cruciate ligament injury, but has also been invaluable for Los Blancos in the past two to three years when Fit.
How Carvajal recovers from his injury will undoubtedly be a crucial part to decide who the starter will be next season, but if he returns to his previous level, he will be difficult to leave. Few doubt the step from a long-term perspective, but the athletic say that the arrival of Alexander-Arnold can be part of a wider shift.
Insider Guillermo Rai explains that although Real Madrid is aware that Alexander-Arnold has defensive weaknesses, he could transform their game. Since the exit of Toni Kroos, playing from behind has been a problem and something they will look at this summer. “The staff of Real Madrid does not see him as the replacement of Dani Carvajal,” explains Rai, who emphasizes that the presence of the Alexander-Arnold will give them a new dimension in that respect and also a set-piece specialist will be the fact that there are missing since Kroos's exit.
Real Madrid is also connected to a midfielder this summer, with Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad apparently on top of their shortlist. Control and organization in the middle of the field has been a problem all year round, and only a few Dani Ceballos and Aurelien Tchouameni suggested for a short period that they could deal with the trunk placed on them by the top-heavy attack.
