Florentino Pérez is preparing for next season by focusing on one key signing for Real Madrid. The player in question is Trent Alexander-Arnold, a Liverpool full-back whose contract expires on June 30.
He is the club’s top priority to strengthen the defense, and many believe his arrival is almost certain. Though negotiations are still ongoing, they are progressing well.
The Telegraph has reported figures suggesting Alexander-Arnold could earn around 10 million euros annually at Real Madrid after taxes, which could pave the way for his move from Liverpool to fulfill his dream of playing at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Lucas Vázquez Warns Carvajal About Incoming Competition
News of Alexander-Arnold’s potential signing has already reached the Real Madrid locker room, where it’s considered a done deal.
The club is aiming to reinforce the right-back position, traditionally shared by Lucas Vázquez and Dani Carvajal. Both players are excited about the prospect of adding a player of Alexander-Arnold’s caliber, which they believe will elevate the squad’s overall quality.
Next season, Carvajal is expected to be in peak form and ready to compete for the starting spot with Alexander-Arnold. Meanwhile, Vázquez, whose contract ends on June 30, is set to renew with the club. Real Madrid is preparing a new deal for one of their captains, offering the same salary and an additional year on his contract. It’s anticipated that the renewal will go smoothly, and Vázquez has no intention of playing for another club.
Pérez is eager to finalize the deal with Alexander-Arnold and is already envisioning a defensive right flank next season featuring the Englishman alongside Carvajal and Vázquez—his ideal setup.
