In recent weeks, there has been a lot of speculation that Real Madrid is interested in Trent Alexander-Arnold. It is still unknown whether the club will be able to reach an agreement with the right-back for Liverpool to extend his contract, which is scheduled to expire during the summer of the next year. In the event that they do not, Los Blancos should anticipate being at the head of the line to purchase his signing as a free agent.
Over the past few years, Real Madrid has made a significant number of free agent signings of players. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe joined the team this summer, before he had even entered his prime, while Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba were already well-established veterans when they arrived.
A player with Trent’s caliber would be an excellent addition to Real Madrid’s roster. Due to the fact that he has won both the Champions League and the European Championships, Dani Carvajal is currently in the running for the Ballon d’Or. He has been playing exceptionally well recently. However, he is 32 years old, and sooner or later, the club will have to try to find someone to take the place of the renowned Spaniard.
On the other hand, Trent is not the only Liverpool player who might be seen wearing a Royal White jersey during the upcoming NFL season. The transfer of Virgil van Dijk to Santiago Bernabeu has also been speculated to be among the possible outcomes.
Two superstars from Liverpool are rumored to be headed to Real Madrid.
According to a report from the Mirror, Graeme Souness anticipates that Liverpool will trade away both Van Dijk and Trent during the summer of 2019. Not only that, but he believes that both of them will end up getting signed with Real Madrid.
Along the same lines as Trent, Van Dijk’s current contract is scheduled to expire in the summer of next year. Real Madrid would not be interested in making a long-term commitment to him, and he will be 34 years old at that point in time.
Despite this, Real Madrid does require improvement in the central defense position. During the summer, Nacho left the club, while Leny Yoro, who had already signed with Manchester United, was not able to be signed. It might not be a bad idea to get someone of Van Dijk’s caliber on a short-term contract, especially taking into consideration that he is a free agent.
