Real Madrid does not hesitate in their confidence that they would sign Alexander-Arnold in the summer, and it seems that the certainty is slowly converting into facts, at least according to the Whispers in the corridors of the Santiago Bernabeu. The defender of Liverpool is without a contract at the end of the season and has so far rejected all their attempts to bind him to a new deal.
The Reds have been trying to secure a new deal with Alexander-Arnold since October 2024, more than six months after Real Madrid first confessed their interest at Alexander-Arnold. They have publicly maintained the confidence that a new contract is still in the game for the international England. In the meantime, it was recently reported that Arne Slot is talking to Alexander-Arnold in an attempt to convince him to stay in the club.
However, that is not with any concern in the Spanish capital. According to Cadena Ser, Real Madrid is completely convinced that a deal is closed for Alexander-Arnold. The club speaks about the arrival of the right back as a 'certainty', and if there are no sudden changes, he will play next season in La Liga alongside friend Jude Bellingham. Los Blancos agreed verbally personal conditions with Alexander-Arnold and he will sign a four-year deal with the club until 2029.
After Dani Carvajal had sustained a cruciate ligament injury earlier in the season, Real Madrid felt obliged to take a step for his successor after he had already set Alexander-Arnold as a possible chance. Allegedly they also made an offer for the 26-year-old in January, but Liverpool rejected every idea to let him go mid-season. With Carvajal already 33, it is no surprise that they do not want to slow down on a long -term replacement, especially given his earlier injury record too.
