Trent Alexander-Arnold would be close to a free transfer to Real Madrid, his contract at Anfield expiring in June. The Merengues saw a January international offer for the English international, Liverpool trying to convince a renewal in the Merseyside.
However, the trend seems to have changed: Alexander-Arnold is convinced by a transfer to Madrid for a new chapter in his career.
Liverpool is looking for a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold
This would open a right rear position to cover in Arne Slot, the Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong being on his radar. However, the Dutch defender is not the only name on the slot list: the Romanian media Prosport announces that Endrei Ratiu, the star of the Rayo Vallecano, is a target.
Barcelona was strongly mentioned for a transfer of ratiu, in a context of uncertainty about the continuity of Jules Koundé, the Romanian international having impressed in Vallecas. The Rayo Vallecano confirmed to be aware of the interest of large clubs for ratiu, but will not easily decide to sell it in the coming months.
A possible European qualification could also strengthen the arguments of the Spanish club to keep the 26 -year -old. The latest information indicates that they will offer at least 25 million euros to anyone interested. This could however be only the beginning, because the interest of Barcelona and Liverpool could trigger an escalation which would allow the Rayo to raise its price. In addition, Manchester City and Tottenham, two Premier League clubs, were also mentioned if the ratiu price is correct.
Pep Guardiola reconstructs his workforce for the 2025/25 season, with a potential departure from Kyle Walker after his AC Milan loan. Spurs are wary of offers concerning the Spanish international Pedro Porro if they do not qualify for the Champions League.
