Transfer Cancelled, Eduardo Inda Announces That the Most Sought after Player Will Not Come to Real Madrid

Real Madrid rule out transfer him despite the fact that he was the great desire of the white team

Real Madrid are moving in the transfer market looking to find the best possible reinforcements. It seemed unlikely that any move would happen in January. However, the name of Alexander Arnold was beginning to sound strongly.

Carvajal's injury has left the right-back position very weakened for the rest of the season. Only Lucas Vázquez, and he is a converted winger, plays in that position. This means that Fede Valverde will have to be draftedon if the Galician has any problems in the form of injury or suspension.

This led to the belief that Arnold could arrive in January , taking advantage of the fact that his contract expires on June 30. Real Madrid were willing to pay a modest price to secure his arrival in the winter market. They believed that it could be a solution that would satisfy everyone.

The Bernabéu are looking to see the arrival of a transfer that they have on their agenda and hope to close as soon as possible. And Liverpool would get some money from his transfer instead of losing him for free in the summer. But it seems that this operation has been cancelled, according to Eduardo Inda.

Real Madrid are Unable to Sign Alexander Arnold for Now

At Real Madrid they already accept that closing the arrival of Alexander Arnold in January is practically impossible. That doesn't mean that they are going to give up on transfer him, since in the summer they take it for granted. They believe that he will continue with his idea of not renewing with Liverpool.

So they will add the right-back to their team for next season and they have help. Bellingham has been talking to him, with whom he shares a great friendship, to convince him. That has made a deal that can be closed from January 1 much easier.

But as we said, he wouldn't be arriving now, but rather with an eye on next season. There is even speculation that he could arrive to play in the Club World Cup. For that to happen, Liverpool would've to accept him, something that is possible if we take into account that they are not qualified for that competition.
