Real Madrid won't give up: after Arnold, they're going to make another signing from Liverpool

Real Madrid will confirm the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold in the coming hours

Real Madrid has started to move swiftly in the transfer market, getting ahead of the official opening of the World Cup window. The club has already secured the signing of Dean Huijsen, and this move will be followed by the arrivals of Arnold, Álvaro Carreras, and Nico Paz.

All of them will be available to Xabi Alonso to face the renewed tournament promoted by Gianni Infantino. Real Madrid has set the goal of lifting the trophy to close the season in the best possible way.

In Santiago Bernabéu offices, they prefer to remain cautious before considering the transfer market planning as finished. Both the club and Xabi Alonso agree that it is necessary to strengthen the midfield. It is worth remembering that the team will face the season without Toni Kroos or Luka Modric on the field at the Madridist stronghold.

A midfielder needs to arrive at Real Madrid

Although injuries have severely punished Real Madrid this season, the greatest imbalances have appeared in the midfield. To make the situation even more complicated, the bet on Dani Ceballos as a game-changer ended up being cut short after an injury just when he was experiencing the brightest moment of his career.

The team has suffered from the lack of a midfielder with vision in ball circulation, capable of controlling positional play. For this reason, Florentino Pérez and his closest circle are seriously considering bringing in a player who fits that profile. There is no shortage of options in the market, and significant progress could be made in the coming weeks.

Florian Wirtz remains an option

As reported by the newspaper AS, Real Madrid would be intensifying their efforts to sign Florian Wirtz. The arrival of Xabi Alonso to the white bench has reinforced this intention, since the coach knows the talented German footballer perfectly.

Although in Germany they already consider his move to Liverpool almost done, Real Madrid haven't lost sight of Florian Wirtz. The young attacking midfielder remains one of the greatest desires for both Florentino Pérez and Xabi Alonso. In Valdebebas, they do not rule out the possibility, but only if they first manage to finalize several departures from the squad.
