The initial Real’s plan was to wait until next June and go for Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the circumstances have significantly changed, making Los Blancos hasten the process. Dani Carvajal, one of the best right-backs in the world and Ballon d’Or candidate, suffered a severe ACL tear and a season-ending injury, leaving Real with few options in his position.🚨 Real Madrid are considering accelerating their attempts to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold after Dani Carvajal’s long-term injury.(Source: @SPORT) pic.twitter.com/zaTwHZ3mJw— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) October 6, 2024 The contacts between TAA and the team from Santiago Bernabeu were already mentioned during the latest transfer window, but nothing concrete happened.
