Real Madrid may have to change their long-term plans regarding the right-back position.
The La Liga giants could be forced to reconsider pursuing Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold. After Dani Carvajal’s serious knee injury this weekend, Real could need a new right defender as early as January.
Real too ambitious?
The daily Marca affirms that Real is therefore ready to accelerate the signing of a right back. Youngsters Lorenzo Aguado and David Jimenez are options, but they lack reliability. Hence the idea of enlisting Alexander-Arnold.
However, it is not at all sure that LFC will agree to part ways with its captain in the middle of the season. Alexander-Arnold won’t be free until next summer and it would be a huge surprise to see him leave Anfield before then.
