This season, nothing is spared at Real Madrid. The Spanish club must manage the complicated integration of Kylian Mbappé and at the same time had to deal with a cascade of injuries. An observation which forced Carlo Ancelotti to tinker and call on several players from Castilla. But for the Italian, it is not enough. It is imperative that Casa Blanca strengthens itself and if possible, from this winter. One of the reinforcements most awaited by Carletto is the replacement for Dani Carvajal.
The Real Madrid captain is out with a knee injury until the end of the season. For the moment, it is Lucas Vazquez who is in charge of the interim and it is Federico Valverde who comes to play troubleshooter when Vazquez is not there. The Merengues’ dream would therefore be to attract Trent Alexander-Arnold into their nets. The 26-year-old right-back represents the future of the position for the Madrilenians and the Englishman has the advantage of being free from any contract next June.
Mission: convince TAA
An ideal scenario for Madrid which also does not close the door to an arrival in January, knowing that the compensation claimed by the Reds cannot be very high. In addition, the Merengues know that the Mersey club faces a dilemma since it must also manage the extensions of two other stars who were also free in June: Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. Two files that could be expensive. So not sure that there is room for three extensions. In addition, the name of Jérémie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen) is regularly mentioned to replace Alexander-Arnold.
One thing is certain: Real Madrid are actively working to persuade TAA to come to Spain. Relevo also reveals that Jude Bellingham is working behind the scenes to convince his compatriot and teammate at the Three Lions. The merengue number 5 would put pressure on WhatsApp conversations and rely on his excellent relationship with TAA to help Real Madrid. This tactic is not new to the Merengues since Vinicius Junior had also played matchmaker with Kylian Mbappé and Alphonso Davies.
