The January transfer market could be a busy one for Real Madrid. Dani Carvajal's injury has 'disrupted' the club's plans, where they already see the winter window as a possible emergency solution, as long as an interesting opportunity appears that fits the club's strategy, which involves not signing a 'patch' but a player who can contribute and add in the coming years.
Parameters that fit Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose name is gaining more and more strength in the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu due to the team's need to reinforce a 'square' defence. The loss of the second captain has only 'exposed' the weaknesses of a squad that has been sustained by the individual quality of its members, but which physical setbacks have taken care of undermining.
Will Alexander-Arnold leave Liverpool mid-season?
For this reason, the newspaper 'MARCA' assures that tension has increased in Valdebebas, where they would be willing to forget the winter 'failures' of the past (Lucas Silva, Reinier...) to bet on a signing that Carlo Ancelotti is 'crying out' for. And it is in this scenario where the English right-back generates more expectations.
The footballer's contract expires on June 30 and, despite the fact that the Santiago Bernabéu has not yet had contact with the player, they already know that Liverpool has resigned itself to the player's renewal and would be willing to negotiate his departure. However, for the operation to come to fruition, the Merengues will have to deposit a significant amount of money. A situation that will be analysed during the next few weeks and whose viability will be marked by what happens with the performance of the squad before the end of the year.
Likewise, the sporting management of Real Madrid have also not lost sight of Jeremie Frimpong, the Dutch full-back for Bayer Leverkusen, in case the signing of 'TAA' is not feasible. With a contract until 2027, the price of his operation could exceed the demands of Los Blancos, where they are following him closely but continue to prioritize the signing of Alexander-Arnold who could wear the white shirt earlier than expected.
