Even though the January Transfer Window has recently ended and the next, June Transfer Window, will start only in three months, Real Madrid has already begun “weaving a web” around some of their targets. According to the latest information from Spain, Los Blancos have as many as three Premier League players and one EPL clubs’ target on their radar!The story that’s been told the longest is the one about Trent Alexander-Arnold, though its end seems to be close. According to Marca, the Englishman has rejected another Liverpool’s offer and allegedly won’t change his mind, wishing to move to Santiago Bernabeu.🚨 NEW: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s decision was made a long time ago, and NOTHING will change his mind.His commitment to Real Madrid is CONFIRMED. @jfelixdiaz pic.twitter.com/7gkUXK5Zji— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) March 22, 2025 However, that’s only the beginning. Marca claims Madrid are after Man City centre-back Manuel Akanji as well! Although the Swiss doesn’t fit into the type of player current European Champions want (either free agents or young players), he is very appreciated in the Spanish capital.In addition, Carlo Ancelotti has had numerous problems with defenders’ injuries this season (Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Eder Militao), so the Italian often had to start the midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as a defender.##NAJAVA_MECA_8799820##Akanji’s situation in Manchester works in Madrid’s favour, as the Cityzens have obviously opted for some younger players, which their moves in the recent transfer window perfectly depict. Several players are expected to leave soon (Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovacic, Nathan Ake), and Akanji could be one of them.Nevertheless, as per Diario As, Los Blancos have eyed a defender who fits perfectly into their “target profile” – Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen. The Cherries’ centre-back is only 19 and isn’t too expensive (€42 million according to Transfermarkt), automatically drawing Madrid’s attention.The youngster’s father, Donny – a former football player – is reportedly a big admirer of the club from the capital and has passed on that love to his son. Additionally, although Huijsen was born in Amsterdam, he was raised in Marbella, Spain, so the eventual move to Santiago Bernabeu would be a return home.🚨 Real Madrid are preparing to hijack Arsenal’s move to sign Martin Zubimendi as part of a summer rebuild that would also include Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen.(Source: @DiarioAS) pic.twitter.com/Scummag3Rf— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) March 22, 2025 Real Madrid’s representatives allegedly watched Huijsen in a recent UEFA Nations League clash between Spain and the Netherlands in Rotterdam, but (as Diario As claims) he wasn’t the only “person of interest” at De Kuip Stadium, as Martin Zubimendi was monitored as well!Real Sociedad midfielder was very close to Liverpool last August, but the deal ultimately fell through. Zubimendi was also Arsenal’s huge wish, as Mikel Arteta highly appreciates him. Still, since one of the reasons Zubimendi rejected the Reds was his wish to stay home, Real Madrid would be a much more suitable option for the 26-year-old Basque.Real Madrid beat Barca for the first time in history! And it’s not a mistakeLos Blancos reportedly expect him to fill the void left behind by the retired Toni Kroos and are willing to splash out €60 million, which Zubimendi’s release clause amounts to.Either way, an exciting transfer window awaits us in Madrid.
