Real Madrid have reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms to sign a new full-back this summer, and it is not Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Alexander-Arnold’s current contract with Liverpool expires in June, and he has yet to agree to an extension. Alongside him, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are also nearing the end of their contracts with the club.
Despite reports from The Times that Liverpool rejected a £20 million bid from Real Madrid for Alexander-Arnold in January, the player has not commented publicly on his situation. Liverpool, focused on claiming their first Premier League title in five years under new manager Arne Slot, have maintained their position that Alexander-Arnold is not for sale.
In the meantime, Real Madrid are pursuing other targets. According to Marca, the club has agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies. The Canadian international’s contract is set to expire this summer, and although Bayern have been negotiating a renewal, Davies is reportedly edging closer to a move to Spain. His agent, Nedal Househ, is said to have instructed lawyers to draft contracts based on the agreed terms.
Real Madrid have faced challenges in the left-back position, with Fran García viewed as a rotational option and Ferland Mendy struggling with injuries and inconsistent form in recent seasons.
The club recently lost 5-2 to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, leading to speculation about manager Carlo Ancelotti’s future. Reports from Mundo Deportivo suggest that former manager Santiago Solari has been told to be ready in case the club decides to make a managerial change.
