Real Madrid breaks the rules for Alexander-Arnold

Real Madrid don’t have a habit of shopping in January, but soon, they may break the rule for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Trent Alexander-Arnold could leave Liverpool in the next few days.

According to MARCA, an unexpected opportunity has emerged, allowing Real Madrid to recruit defender Trent Alexander-Arnold from Premier League leader Liverpool in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Although there is no official information yet, the prospect of this sensational deal is creating a fever within the Spanish Royal team. However, at present, Real Madrid still has no plans to vigorously promote the deal.

Liverpool could consider selling Alexander-Arnold in January if they feel it is the right time to secure a financial return, before the defender leaves on a free transfer, it has been reported.

Real Madrid, for their part, are said to be taking a cautious approach: they are considering waiting until July to sign Alexander-Arnold for free, but are also open to negotiations if Liverpool agree to sell him for the right price. Meanwhile, the England star appears open to a move to the Bernabeu, which would make the deal more likely.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti will certainly welcome the addition of a star like Alexander-Arnold, especially when Real Madrid’s defense is suffering heavy losses due to injuries to Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal

At centre-back, the Spanish giants have been relatively stable thanks to the brilliance of Antonio Rudiger and the encouraging recovery of David Alaba. However, right-back is a major weakness. Lucas Vazquez can fill the role, but relying entirely on him for the next seven gruelling months is a big risk.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is a world class defender.

Real Madrid do not usually make signings in the winter transfer window. In fact, they have not bought in January for the past five years, as president Florentino Perez and the board are often against changing the squad mid-season.

However, the Alexander-Arnold deal could be an exception . The England defender is said to feel his time at Liverpool is coming to an end, opening up a rare opportunity for the Whites to own a world-class player in a position that is in dire need of reinforcement.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is considered one of the best right-backs in the world today, especially in attack. Alexander-Arnold has the ability to create breakthroughs from precise long passes or dangerous crosses. His moves are not only threatening but also highly accurate, helping his teammates easily convert them into goals. In set-piece situations, the 26-year-old player is also an expert with the ability to take corner kicks or direct free kicks, making the opposing defense always wary.

In the 2019/20 season, Alexander-Arnold set a record with 13 assists in the Premier League, a rare number for a defender. He is not only a defender but also acts as a “playing midfielder” from the right wing, helping Liverpool maintain a possession-based and diverse attacking style.

If this deal comes true, Alexander-Arnold will not only help solve the right-back problem but also bring a breath of fresh air to the Royal team in their journey to conquer the title this season.
