Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the most talked-about players in the transfer market right now, with his Liverpool contract set to expire at the end of the season.

With just months remaining before he can negotiate a free transfer, Alexander-Arnold’s future is a hot topic, and Real Madrid are firmly in the driver’s seat.

According to Matteo Moretto, the coming month is poised to be pivotal in determining his next step. He adds that Real Madrid have made the Liverpool star their top priority, and the deal is well underway.

The club’s persistence and planning could soon pay off, with negotiations reportedly advancing to a critical stage.

Alexander-Arnold’s signing is seen as crucial for Real Madrid, especially given the current state of their defensive line.

Dani Carvajal, a club stalwart, has struggled with injuries in recent seasons and, at 33, is nearing the twilight of his career.

Meanwhile, Lucas Vazquez, who has deputized at right-back, could be playing his final season with Los Blancos as his contract nears its end.

Alexander-Arnold’s arrival would bring youth, creativity, and world-class quality to the position. However, the club must exercise swiftness in their pursuit of the Englishman, knowing there are a myriad of other top clubs across Europe, who are interested in securing the player’s services.
