The race to transfer Trent Alexander-Arnold is intensifying. The Liverpool right winger is in the radar of several European giants. Among them are Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona.

Real Madrid, led by Florentino Pérez, knows they need to act quickly if they want to secure the transfer of the English player. Alexander-Arnold is a priority to reinforce the right winger position, especially after Dani Carvajal's injury.

Flirting with Laporta and Guardiola?

Recent rumors suggest that Joan Laporta has shown interest in bringing Alexander-Arnold to Barcelona. The Barça project is looking for renowned players to boost their international competitiveness, and Trent fits that profile perfectly.

On the other hand, Pep Guardiola is also on the lookout. Manchester City wants to strengthen their squad with an elite winger who can contribute both in defense and attack. City's play style would be ideal for a player with Alexander-Arnold's attacking characteristics.

Florentino, forced to act

Real Madrid can't afford to miss this opportunity. Florentino Pérez is aware that the competition is fierce and that any delay could cost him dearly.

Alexander-Arnold, 25, is one of the best right-backs in the world. His ability to create play from wide and his talent on set pieces make him a strategic transfer for any team.

Liverpool are not willing to let their star player go easily. Although no official figure has been revealed, it is believed that the transfer could be an auction with large transfer bonuses.
