Real Madrid set their sights on Liverpool’s Trent Alexander Arnold

There are now no two ways about it, Real Madrid must sign a right-back. It was always their aim but it’s turned from a luxury to a necessity, after Dani Carvajal suffered a season-ending injury.

While we wish club legend Dani Carvajal all the best in his rehabilitation, Real Madrid must now focus on finding a solution. In many ways, signing Trent Alexander-Arnold is the most logical solution.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is only under contract at Liverpool until 2025. This means that Real Madrid could either sign him for free in the summer or at a reduced rate in January.

Carlo Ancelotti pushes Real Madrid to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold

According to a report from Football Insider, it is Carlo Ancelotti who is at the heart of Real Madrid’s push to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Italian boss is personally a big fan of the Liverpool defender.

Carlo Ancelotti is very knowledgable when it comes to English football. After all, the Real Madrid boss has spent time coaching in the Premier League, even residing in Merseyside while managing Liverpool’s rivals Everton.

There have been a few Real Madrid transfer targets in the past orchestrated by Carlo Ancelotti following his time at other clubs. While the transfer didn’t happen, Real Madrid wanted to sign Jarrad Branthwaite, since Carlo Ancelotti gave him his Everton debut.

So, this transfer story comes as no surprise. Carlo Ancelotti has worked with the best players in the history of the game, so he knows a thing or two about how to spot talent. In many ways, Real Madrid are best-placed to listen to any transfer insight given to them by the manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is an attacking full-back. He is one of the best passers in the world and he also possesses a mean set-piece routine. He is primarily a full-back but he can also play in the midfield, which will aid the fluidity of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
