Dani Carvajal's serious injury has opened the debate on the right side of Real Madrid. The team managed by Carlo Ancelotti will have to face the rest of the season with Lucas Vázquez as a substitute for the '2' and Militao or Rüdiger as 'patches' in case of rotation, which is why the Merengue sports management is already looking for a short or medium-term replacement for the position.
The favourite on the Madrid agenda is Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool expires in 2025 and, given the lack of news about his renewal, the Whites are 'cooking' his signing as a free agent slowly for next summer. The arrival of the Englishman would be a priority for the Vikings, who would already have a 'plan B' if the 'scouser' finally decides to continue wearing the 'red' shirt.
Madrid set their sights on Jeremie Frimpong
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Santiago Bernabéu offices are closely following Jeremie Frimpong's season with Bayer Leverkusen. The Dutchman remains a key player for Xabi Alonso, but his time at the BayArena could come to an end in the next transfer market as his release clause, valued at 40 million euros, makes him a highly attractive player for the big clubs.
Curiously, Liverpool are also reportedly on his trail, as they see him as the ideal replacement for Alexander-Arnold if he decides to head to Madrid. For their part, FC Barcelona are also keeping an eye on him, as the Catalans are looking to reinforce the right-back position and the Dutchman is one of the options to consider alongside names such as Reece James, Tiago Santos or Óscar Mingueza. The 'race', which has only just begun, seems very tight.
