Real Madrid sets sights solely on Trent Alexander-Arnold for a January transfer, depending on Liverpool's decision.

Real Madrid Targets Alexander-Arnold for January

Real Madrid has made it clear that their primary target for the January transfer window is Trent Alexander-Arnold, the talented right-back from Liverpool. According to Marca, Madrid is not considering any other options for this position.

Alexander-Arnold has reportedly expressed his desire to join Real Madrid, and the Spanish giants have acknowledged their need for reinforcement in the right-back role, especially with Dani Carvajal recovering from injury and Lucas Vázquez as the only available option.

Liverpool, however, seems reluctant to part with their star defender mid-season. Despite this, Alexander-Arnold has informed Liverpool's management of his decision not to renew his contract, which expires on June 30. This could facilitate a move in January or push the transfer to the summer.

Real Madrid’s urgency stems from their defensive struggles and the absence of Carvajal, who is not expected to return until the start of next season. The club has stated that if Alexander-Arnold joins in January, no additional signings for this position will be pursued.

Fans and analysts eagerly await Liverpool's response, as Alexander-Arnold's potential move to Real Madrid could significantly reshape both clubs' plans.
