Real Madrid are in talks with Liverpool to sign defender Trent Alexander-Arnold just weeks before his contract expires, aiming to upgrade their squad for the FIFA Club World Cup, according to Sky Sports.
Spanish media have echoed the report, as the international tournament has become a top priority for Los Blancos.
With a strong relationship between the clubs, Real Madrid are expected to pay a modest fee—around €1 million, per club sources—to secure Liverpool’s approval for Alexander-Arnold to join before July 1. His arrival would strengthen Real Madrid’s right flank, a persistent weak spot this season.
While adapting to a new team and playing style may take time, Alexander-Arnold’s exceptional quality and attacking skills are expected to make an immediate impact in the tournament.
Alexander-Arnold officially confirmed his departure from Liverpool this Monday, and his signing for Real Madrid is only a matter of time.
