Trent Alexander-Arnold and Another Liverpool Player, Real Madrid's Plan

The white executives don't lose track of the players trained by Arne Slot

Real Madrid's objectives for the next transfer market are almost set . The shortage of personnel suffered in the first months of the season has highlighted the urgent need to expand the roster of defenders in all positions.

One of the players chosen to expand the right-back is Trent Alexander-Arnold . The Liverpool '66' is on the list of potential transfers for the Madrid club because his contract ends in the summer of 2025 , making his immediate arrival possible on a free transfer . This would calm the debate on the right-back side as well as the search for Dani Carvajal's successor .

But the game at Anfield , a heavy defeat for Real Madrid, has sparked the interest of the Madrid bosses in another player from the Reds ' team . Because the sporting management also wants to strengthen the midfield due to the retirement of Toni Kroos .

The Merengue executives are looking for a creative defensive midfielder: Martín Zubimendi is the one who seems to fit perfectly into those requirements. But that doesn't mean that the range is not open to include other similar players... like Ryan Gravenberch .

It's the 'plan B'><

Liverpool's '38', who arrived from Bayern Munich , has recovered much of the prominence he lost in Germany. Consolidated as Fabinho's 'heir' on Merseyside , Gravenberch has earned the respect and the starting spots that Arne Slot has given him since the start of the season.

His particular recovery, at 22 years old , leaves him with plenty of time ahead of him in the European soccer elite. That is precisely what Real Madrid is looking for in the market: a player who can provide longevity and quality in equal parts .

The Dutch midfielder's performance , which is increasingly becoming a pivot , has left a good impression on the club... where they are already starting to support his transfer. Gravenberch's market value is set at 40 million euros , but there's no doubt that Liverpool will ask for much more money .

Because Gravenberch's contract with the Red team ends in the summer of 2028. In addition, taking into account that he arrived just a year and a half ago and is key for Arne Slot , they will not want to get rid of him so easily. That's why the Whites' executives would face an operation that could be as expensive or more expensive than the transfer of Martín Zubimendi .
