While Real Madrid wants him Slot's direct message for Alexander Arnold Liverpool

Real Madrid's priority for the summer transfer market is to secure the services of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The English full-back is a player who is very popular with the club's top brass. Today, optimism is present in Valdebebas.

Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Arne Slot analyses his player's situation in a somewhat curious way. Although he knows that the Englishman can sign for any team from 1 January, he is satisfied with his performance: "As long as they continue to play like this, the manager, or rather, the head coach, is happy with them," he said.

In this way, it seems that he is beginning to give up on his player a little. These statements have gone down very well in the White House. Florentino Pérez believes that the operation will be carried out, although signings, like life itself, are very changeable.

The club has good feelings about the operation, although they have not yet made any move worth considering. This will come in 2025 and it will be sooner rather than later. The club's top brass do not want to prolong the situation for too long.

Ideal situation

The scenario for Trent Alexander-Arnold to end up at the White House is ideal. He continues without renewing and would arrive as a free agent. This formula is quite popular at Real Madrid, given that it represents a huge market opportunity.

He would not be the first to arrive as a free agent and, probably, not the last either. Footballers such as David Alaba, Antonio Rüdiger and Kylian Mbappé signed in this way. Alphonso Davies, perhaps, will also wear the white at zero cost as far as the transfer is concerned. But that is another issue.

Friend of Bellingham

An important factor to think that the signing will take place is that he is a good friend of Jude Bellingham. Both share a dressing room in the English national team and perhaps want to do the same at clubs.

In this way, the '5' from Real Madrid could be convincing him to change the Bernabéu for Anfield. They share a lot of free time and have been seen together on holiday, so their relationship is very good.

Necessary move

The sporting management is aware that Ancelotti's squad needs to strengthen the right back. Not only because of Dani Carvajal's injury, but because he is already 32 years old and Lucas Vázquez 33.

Thus, it is necessary to rejuvenate that position with a long-term view. Arnold is the right person for it and everything depends on him. Florentino and his closest people trust that he will not renew with Liverpool.
