Alexander-Arnold – Real Madrid, Imminent Deal: The Club Speeds Things Up
Real Madrid is working to finalize the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who could feature at the Club World Cup
Real Madrid is fully confident that the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold will go through. Although the Liverpool player has not yet signed, the belief within the Valdebebas offices is strong that the transfer will happen.
What remains to be seen is whether he will already join the team for the Club World Cup, taking advantage of FIFA’s window that allows clubs to register new signings for the upcoming tournament set to debut this summer in the United States.
Real Madrid pushes to secure Alexander-Arnold’s signature, considered a done deal within the club
The planning for next season is already underway, and the arrival of the English right-back is the first step in building a dream squad. The team is looking to bounce back from what has been a disappointing year.
The team has not performed cohesively all season, leading to criticism of coach Carlo Ancelotti – who is in his final weeks at the club – and also of the players, who hope to turn things around quickly. With La Liga slipping away due to Barça’s four-point lead, the Club World Cup is now the focus, although the squad will be weakened due to defensive injuries.
With Carvajal and Militão likely out, Rüdiger could also miss out due to surgery
The potential addition of Alexander-Arnold would be a breath of fresh air for the right-back position, especially after Carvajal’s injury and the underwhelming performances of Lucas Vázquez in that role.
Argentine wonderkid Franco Mastantuono also on the radar, with Rodrygo’s future uncertain
Another recent name in the spotlight is Argentine starlet Franco Mastantuono. At just 17, he’s impressing at River Plate, playing as an inverted right winger and showing signs of becoming a top talent.
The signing of this young player, reportedly recommended by Santiago Solari, could serve as a replacement for Rodrygo, who may leave the club after a season where he fell short of expectations.
