Liverpool are working behind the scenes to bolster Arne Slot’s squad after his excellent first season as their manager, where he won the Premier League. However, Liverpool’s plans are facing the prospect of losing out on a top target to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are turning out to be a major bugbear for Liverpool this summer. They are set to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has confirmed his impending departure from Anfield.
The Spanish giants are also pushing to snare Alexis Mac Allister away from Liverpool, and are prepared to offer a deal worth £76m to seal his signature.
Real Madrid are plotting another deal that would see them hijack Liverpool’s pursuit of a top young talent in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Real Madrid set to sign Dutch wonderkid

Jorrel Hato is expected to leave Ajax despite just being 19, as he is almost certain to join one of the biggest clubs in European football this summer.
He has been the top target for Arsenal for over a year, and Liverpool are trying to hijack the deal to take him to Anfield in the upcoming transfer window.
However, according to TBR Football, Real Madrid are considering the possibility of snapping up Hato in the summer window.
The Spanish giants are in the market for a top left-back, and Hato is seen as one of the best young talents in world football.
Real Madrid are pushing to convince the Dutchman to move to the Santiago Bernabeu over Anfield in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Hato has not decided on his next destination, but Real Madrid are confident that they can beat other clubs to the signature of the defender.
His ability to play both as a left-back and a centre-back is attractive to Real Madrid, who also need a central defender.
