Real Madrid have reportedly backed off in their pursuit of signing right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the January transfer window, but at the same time, they are likely to rekindle their interest in the player in the summer. Despite the encouragement from the Real Madrid fans and the media to bring in reinforcements after their tough loss against Barcelona last weekend, manager Carlo Ancelotti believes there is no such need for the Galacticos.
Notably, in the Spanish Super Cup final last weekend, Real Madrid suffered a humiliating 2-5 defeat against arch-rivals Barcelona at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Following the tough loss, Real Madrid were put under pressure from the outside to sign new players, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is linked with them for a long-time, became a prime focus of attention, but as per the report from Relevo, there is “no chance” of a deal going through between them.
Real Madrid want to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer this summer
The reason being the insistence of Liverpool to keep Trent Alexander-Arnold, to give themselves the best chance to win the Premier League and Champions League this year following a great start in the first half of the season. Moreover, Liverpool are still trying to get the right-back to sign a new contract with them, and they are not willing to accept even a big money transfer offer from any club to let him go this month.
As of this writing, Real Madrid are looking to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window as part of their strategy to bring in quality players at zero cost. They have already managed to sign big names over the last couple of years on a free transfer, which includes names like David Alaba, David Rudiger, and Kylian Mbappe.
