There is no doubt. Alexander Arnold wants to play for Real Madrid and the white club is looking to have the English full-back in its ranks. The desire is mutual and everything indicates that the story is going to have a happy ending. Everything seems so clear that the leaders of the white club are clear that the story at the moment is Alexander Arnold or nothing.
In the different meetings held in Valdebebas, there has been talk about whether or not it is advisable to go to the summer-winter market. Sawtooth before the reactions and moments of some players. The technical request speaks of the need to incorporate a right back due to Carvajal’s injury and the sole presence of Lucas Vázquez for that position.
Direct and clear message
With Alexander Arnold very close to being a reality, which is very clear to Valdebebas, there will be no movement in the coming weeks for that position, unless there is the possibility that the English full-back option becomes a reality for the January market. The clear position of the full-back, transmitted to the Liverpool leaders, of starting the adventure at Real Madrid and not renewing the contract that ends on June 30, could lead to a change of scenario with his possible arrival in January, but it What already seems to be decided is that there will not be another movement in that sense for the right back position.

Knowing the presence of Alexander Arnold starting in June facilitates the conservative option, which is none other than letting time pass with Lucas Vázquez plus the specific appearances of Valverde and the respites in the form of minutes that Asencio can give. Positioning and strength that may not seem like much with seven months of competition left, but that will be what Ancelotti can count on in case they close the exit door at Anfield in January, as it seems is going to happen.
He refuses to sell
It all depends on what the Liverpool ownership decides to do, which seems to be clear that the full-back’s future destiny does not go through Anfield, as the footballer himself has confessed to them. The relationship between the two clubs is unbeatable and communication on the Arnold issue has already existed weeks ago. If there is another, it will be to establish the bases of the negotiation, which can end with the defender as a gift from kings, something complicated.
While talking about the white right back, Dani Carvajal continues with his recovery, taking the appropriate steps, but his presence, at best, is not expected until the start of next season. The ten months to return are being put on the table as the most correct decision when there is an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament.
The best in the world
The European champion with Spain was injured in the first days of October and the journey before his return is still very long. Both the club, the fans, and his teammates and coaching staff miss one of the team’s captains and a player who, from the side, has become one of the best footballers in the world last season.
