Ancelotti's Promise to Florentino if He Transfers Arnold in January: What I Know...

At Real Madrid, they're clear that the arrival of a right wing is very important to achieve the objectives

Dani Carvajal's injury forces Real Madrid to strengthen the right flank in upcoming markets. Lucas Vázquez is Carlo Ancelotti's option to cover the captain's absence, but it's insufficient in case of an injury to the Galician.

That's why there's great concern in the club regarding the right wing position. In fact, according to Mario Cortegana, the club believes it's quite complicated to win the Champions League without transfering a player for the flank.

"What I know is that without a right wing it's impossible to win the Champions League," commented the renowned journalist from The Athletic.

Arnold's possible arrival at Real Madrid

Real Madrid is very clear about what it wants in the transfer market, and it has been showing this in recent months. The Meringue entity continues to work on transfering Trent Alexander-Arnold, the top favorite to reinforce the right flank of Bernabéu.

The Chamartín team sees the English international as one of the most interesting alternatives to bolster the right lane. However, in recent days, the player has received several criticisms following his performance against Manchester United in the Premier League.

At Real Madrid, they are aware that the player's defensive level is somewhat inferior to his offensive level. Despite this, the merengue team wants to move forward with the transfer of one of the best full-backs today.

Criticism in England of Arnold

Against Manchester United, he was heavily criticized for his defensive errors, which prompted comments from several English legends. "It's too easy. We talk about how brilliant Trent is in attack, but today Trent defending..." commented Roy Keane.

"My God, he looks like a schoolboy," explained the former player during the "Sky Sports" broadcast at the end of the first half. "There's talk of him going to Real Madrid. The way he defends, after this, he'll go to Tranmere Rovers," concluded Roy Keane.

"There are too many things falling down Liverpool's right. Much has been said before this match, but for Trent Alexander-Arnold, it's better that Real Madrid isn't watching," completed Jamie Carragher.
