Two months before the end of the 2024-2025 sporting season, Florentino Pérez and Real Madrid have officially secured Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Having been part of Real Madrid’s plans for several months, the English right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, signed his contract in January. A Liverpool player since his early years, the 26-year-old has been a new Madrid player for several days now, according to the daily Marca and credible sources from England. While the Reds are doing everything to extend his contract, the Liverpool native rejected all offers from his managers in order to secure a substantial signing bonus from Florentino Pérez’s club. This is a similar situation to Kylian Mbappé’s last season.
Confirmation within the Madrid ranks
As with KM9, José Félix Díaz reports that the transfer of Alexander-Arnold has been confirmed by credible sources within the Casa Blanca. Rather than keeping fans in suspense, the Madrid hierarchy simply wants to respect Liverpool by not making any official announcements until the end of the season. According to confirmed reports from England, the contract between the English international and the Merengues has been signed and sealed. Today, nothing should derail this transfer that the player has been hoping for.
Admirer of the Bernabéu, Trent Alexander-Arnold has only one current goal: to wear the white shirt and add a special new flavour to his career. Since last year, he has pledged his commitment to Florentino Pérez, who holds him in high regard. Given all the confirmations that have emerged, including one from Fabrizio Romano, we can therefore expect an official announcement at the end of the season, likely in June. Today, Carlo Ancelotti can begin to think about how he will manage Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez, and the new right-back arriving as a star.
Is Vazquez on his way out?
While having a challenging season with the Madrid squad, Lucas Vazquez could be packing his bags at the end of the season. In the final year of his contract, the player, who will be 34, is unsure whether he will extend his adventure with the Madrid team. Having arrived in 2014, he seems to have reached the end of his journey with the Whites and will have to find a new challenge, especially since he is not at all indispensable to the team. Repositioned as a right-back, Lucas has not impressed defensively this season.
Unable to fill in for Dani Carvajal’s absence, the number 17 is being overtaken by Federico Valverde, a midfielder who meets expectations much more. It is therefore clear that with Arnold’s completed transfer, who will be Carvajal’s backup (under contract until June 2026) next season, Lucas Vazquez will be on his way out. This will mark the end of an era for the player, who has made nearly 400 appearances with the Madrid team.
