After the resounding 2-5 defeat against Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final, Real Madrid is reconsidering its situation at right-back. The loss has made it more than clear to the club that they need to explore other alternatives for that position, as Lucas Vázquez hasn't quite delivered.
The initial plan was to use Fede Valverde as a right-back in the most important matches. However, CarloAncelotti decided to discard this option, as he prefers to keep the Uruguayan in his usual position in the midfield. The Italian had to opt for Lucas's option, whose weaknesses were exposed with Raphinha in front.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is the club's first option
Trent Alexander-Arnold remains Real Madrid's priority transfer for the right flank. The Liverpool player hasn't renewed yet, and the intentions of the club remain the same: to secure his arrival for the next season.
However, Florentino Pérez and the rest of the Real Madrid board also have other options on the table. They understand that transfer Arnold might become complicated, so the best option is to have more alternatives for the right wing.
What's the second option?
Another figure from the Premier League is on Real Madrid's radar. According to reports from "El Gol Digital," Pedro Porro's profile is also quite appealing to the club, although Trent Alexander-Arnold is the preferred choice.
The Extremaduran right-back from Tottenham fits into the Spanishization plan that Florentino Pérez wants to implement in the team. Additionally, his high level in England continues to attract the attention of the biggest clubs. Pedro Porro possesses good ball distribution, great participation in attack, and defensive reliability.

In fact, the Spaniard is quite superior to Trent Alexander-Arnold when it comes to defending. However, there's no one better than the Brit when it comes to attacking.
Real Madrid is keeping an eye on both players, but they understand that someone will have to come in to cover Carvajal's absence. The right flank of the white team continues to demand reinforcements, and Trent Alexander-Arnold and Pedro Porro are emerging as the top favorites for the role.
