The Madridist Hint of a Possible Florentino Signing, Real Madrid Doesn't Rule It Out

Real Madrid, after the vicissitudes recorded so far this season, has modified its roadmap for the summer 2025 market on more than one occasion. Far from "forgetting" important signings like Florian Wirtz or the addition of a creative defensive midfielder, the focus is now on the defensive line due to injuries.

The absences recorded since the current season began have led the executives led by Florentino Pérez to explore the market in search of center-backs and full-backs. The number one target to ensure the succession of Dani Carvajal, recovering from a triple tear in his right knee, is Trent Alexander-Arnold. The current '66' of Liverpool could make a free agent arrival to Santiago Bernabéu locker room in just six months.

The latest information published on the matter indicates that the operation would have progressed spectacularly, only the signature would be missing to seal the signing officially. In the Valdebebas offices, while they are not oblivious to the optimism, they are aware that this addition could "fall through" at any moment: the most recent precedent is Davies.

The failed addition of Bayern Munich's '19', around which good feelings were also distilled, has put the merengue sports management on alert. Therefore, Juni Calafat's scouts continue to explore several elite soccer clubs in search of an immediate "plan B" for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Doesn't want to fall behind

The chosen footballer has been on the white agenda for some time, but has been relegated to more discreet positions due to the emergence of the English full-back, whose hiring conditions are unbeatable. The name of Jeremie Frimpong would have returned to the forefront of the debate about the right-back position at Real Madrid after his latest nod to the club.

Taking advantage of Marcelo Vieira's retirement, a historic figure of the Madridist entity, Bayer Leverkusen's '2' would have replied to that announcement with an impactful word: "legend". Recognizing the work of the now former verdeamarelo defender in the European soccer elite, one of the best in his position, Jeremie Frimpong guarantees not to go unnoticed by the merengue board.

In this context, Real Madrid would have chosen Jeremie Frimpong as its second option to strengthen the right-back position for next summer... as long as Trent Alexander-Arnold is not available due to a renewal or his departure to another club. However, the white treasury must be willing to disburse a substantial transfer to secure his services.

Because the '2' werkselfends his contract with the German entity in mid-2028 and has a market value of 50 million euros. These two conditions could raise his price above 60 million euros, a circumstance that will provoke intense debates in the Valdebebas offices about the advisability of his signing.
