Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer from Liverpool this summer. A chance of a U-turn is almost nil, and he is almost guaranteed to be at the Santiago Bernabeu next season. However, Real Madrid now want a teammate of the right-back to follow him to the Spanish capital this summer.
Real Madrid have been a thorn in Liverpool’s flesh over the years, and the prospect of watching Alexander-Arnold moving to Spain would be painful for the Reds fans.
The right-back was seen as a future Liverpool captain, and the fact that they are set to lose him on a free transfer is even more horrid, given his current market value.
However, Liverpool now must prepare for another raid from Real Madrid in the summer for one more pivotal player who the Los Blancos want in the coming months.
Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?
Real Madrid prioritise signing another Red
It emerged over the weekend that Real Madrid are discussing the possibility of getting their hands on Alexis Mac Allister in the summer transfer window.
However, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, their interest in him is more than just an idea as the club have prioritised signing him in the coming months.
Real Madrid want to add a top-class midfielder to their squad, and the Liverpool star has emerged as one of their top targets for the next transfer window.
There are suggestions that Real Madrid could offer Arda Guler as part of the negotiations to tempt Liverpool into selling the Argentinian in a potential swap deal.
Mac Allister still has two years left on his contract, and Liverpool are said to be planning to offer him a new deal.
The interest from Real Madrid will complicate things despite claims that he is happy and settled at Anfield.
