Milan makes a move to capitalize on Arnold's signing, negotiations underway

After several months of waiting, Trent Alexander-Arnold's arrival at Real Madrid is close to becoming a reality. After revealing that he won't stay at Liverpool for the next season, Real Madrid has been preparing for his arrival. However, this important signing has sparked an interesting move from AC Milan.

The Italian team, following Arnold's imminent arrival, is working on the future of Álex Jiménez. Standing out in just his first season at Milan, the young full-back has established himself as an undisputed starter. Covering the right flank excellently, Milan seeks to keep Álex for several more seasons, considering him important.

Despite Real Madrid's interest in the return of their youth player, Milan is looking for a way to convince him to stay. Altering his buy-back clause has emerged as the most solid option for Milan.

Milan's operation

At just 19 years old, Álex Jiménez has managed to earn Sérgio Conceição's trust to be a starter at AC Milan. Being part of the Future category, his performances with the first team were enough to earn him a place in the squad. Playing around 1,500 minutes with the first team, Álex's progress is more than remarkable.

Having the potential to be a reference at Milan, the club is looking for a way to prevent his return to Real Madrid. Although Álex has a contract until 2028, Real Madrid has a buy-back clause for just 9 million euros.

While Arnold's arrival has strengthened the right-back position, Real Madrid is interested in further securing the future of this position. It is because of this that, facing the imminent market, Real Madrid must solve the situation of Álex Jiménez at AC Milan.

The consequences of Arnold

With Arnold's arrival at Real Madrid, Milan thought it would be extremely easy to keep Álex for more seasons. However, being a very talented youth player from Real Madrid, Álex's future depends entirely on the decision of the merengue club.
