Josep Pedrerol Lowers the Euphoria Over the Alexander-Arnold Signing: 'Not Yet...'

Real Madrid Has Several Signings Planned for the Next Season. The summer 2025 transfer market, contrary to what it seemed at the beginning of the season, will be quite hectic in the Valdebebas offices. Especially now that they can definitively acquire an elite player on a free transfer.

The Link Between Real Madrid and Trent Alexander-Arnold Is an Open Secret at this point in the 24/25 campaign. Liverpool's '66' quickly entered the list of potential targets for the white team after Dani Carvajal's serious injury... also considering that he was ending his contract with the British team in the summer of 2025.

Taking advantage of these circumstances, the board led by Florentino Pérez approached the player's entourage to explore a possible transfer. Everything seemed to go as expected, since the conversations during the winter market brought positions considerably closer. Many still talk today about how that approach closed the signing "99%".

In Recent Hours, There Has Been Great Euphoria in the Real Madrid environment due to the information published by Fabrizio Romano. The Italian journalist reportedly made it clear that only minor details are missing to make Trent Alexander-Arnold's arrival at Real Madrid official, marking it as a signing already closed by both parties. 

Further Than It Seems

However, Josep Pedrerol Seems to Have Completely Opposite Information. The journalist from 'El Chiringuito de Jugones', far from maintaining Fabrizio Romano's version, reportedly downplayed the Madrid euphoria regarding the possible signing of the '66' red. Because Alexander-Arnold, according to his sources, reportedly hasn't signed with Real Madrid yet.

That Circumstance Doesn't Imply That the Signing Has Drifted Away. Quite the opposite, notes Josep Pedrerol. The veteran Catalan journalist warns that nothing has changed in recent weeks, but the English footballer will be a Real Madrid player "90%".

Josep Pedrerol Reports That Real Madrid Would Continue Negotiating to Secure the Signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold for the Next Season, showing the opposite version to that revealed by Fabrizio Romano recently. In any case, Real Madrid remains in a good position to sign the English footballer this summer.

One of the Great Doubts Raised by This Possible Signing, however, is the moment he would arrive in Santiago Bernabéu locker room. Because the Club World Cup starts before June 30, 2025, a moment when Alexander-Arnold could leave as a free agent, a time frame that leaves many doubts.
