The Winger Who Could Join Real Madrid if Alexander-Arnold Doesn't Arrive by June

Real Madrid is preparing the alternative to Alexander-Arnold for the upcoming market

Trent Alexander-Arnold is still Real Madrid's top priority to renew the right wing position. After Carvajal's serious injury and doubts with Lucas Vázquez, the Englishman has proven to be the right choice for the Meringue team. However, the doubts that still linger with this transfer have led the club to focus on another target.

Juanlu Sánchez continues to attract Real Madrid's attention to become their new player next season. The young Sevilla right wing has the potential to be one of the best in his position in a few years. A natural talent that the team seeks to acquire in case they can't secure the transfer of Alexander-Arnold.

However, in light of Real Madrid's clear intentions, Sevilla has started to make some moves. Aware of the great talent they have in their ranks, the team is not willing to let him go so easily.

Arnold's replacement

At just 21 years old, Juanlu has managed to impress several teams with his outstanding level. Despite Sevilla's problems, the right flank has been one of the club's standout points throughout the season. Scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists in 888 minutes played, Real Madrid has seen Juanlu as the ideal transfer.

The team is willing to spend between 10 to 15 million euros to secure the player's services. Although his clause is 20 million, the end of his contract in 2026 has been the reason for the offered value.

Despite the great merengue interest, Sevilla seeks to shield their player by renewing his contract. With the intention of giving him a first-team spot and raising his release clause, Juanlu's future also depends on Alexander-Arnold.

Doesn't depend on him

Even if Juanlu is interested in coming to Valdebebas, his transfer depends on the decision Arnold ultimately makes. As Real Madrid's priority, the Englishman holds the power to decide the future of one of the greatest promises in Spanish soccer.
