Trrent Alexander-Arnold ‘is Real Madrid’s priority target’ if he runs down his Liverpool contract – with a Tottenham star and former Man City defender ‘also on their radar’

Real Madrid have reportedly made Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold a priority transfer target.

The Spanish club are looking for a new right-back with Tottenham’s Pedro Porro, Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremy Frimpong and Sevilla’s Juanlu on their radar, the Spanish club said. The Athletics.

The report adds that sources with good knowledge of Madrid’s transfer plans claim Alexander-Arnold is the No. 1 option, but only if he lets his contract expire.

The full-back’s contract at Anfield runs until June 2025, meaning he will be a free agent at the end of the season and free to talk to other clubs from January.

Liverpool have negotiated an extension with the 26-year-old, but there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the situation.

Speaking about his future while on international duty for England, he said told ITV: ‘I’m in the prime of my career now and I don’t want to be the player who only won trophies when he was young.’

Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal was taken off on a stretcher during Real’s home win against Villarreal earlier this month.

The right back will be on the sidelines for a long period after an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Los Blancos are also said to be looking for a new centre-back and could make a move in January.

Former Man City defender Aymeric Laporte is a player they are looking at, The Athletic wrote in their report.

The 30-year-old currently plays with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr and has a contract that runs until 2026.

Other players being monitored include 18-year-old Brazilian Vitor Reis from Palmeiras, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal, and 21-year-old French international Castello Lukeba from RB Leipzig.
