In a recent segment of The Daily Briefing, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed that Real Madrid are monitoring the situation of Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold. Romano said,
“Finally, as some fans have asked again about Trent Alexander-Arnold, I’m afraid I have no update in this moment – as I said weeks ago Real Madrid are following the situation but nothing else in terms of talks or contact so far. Let’s see what Liverpool will now do to keep a crucial player for them, a top player.”
Alexander-Arnold’s Impressive Form In Premier League Football
Alexander-Arnold has enjoyed another fine campaign at the Merseyside club despite missing some key games for them due to injuries. The English talent has been involved in 34 matches for the Reds this season, scoring three times and picking up nine assists on all fronts.
The 25-year-old has been a positive influence in both halves as he is averaging 1.2 tackles, 1.0 interceptions, 1.6 clearances, 1.5 shots, 2.3 key passes and 1.1 dribbles per game in the Premier League. He has also been tidy when distributing possession from the right flank based on his pass completion rate of 79% in league football (stats via whoscored).
Will Alexander-Arnold Be A Dream Option For Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti?
Alexander-Arnold is a solid tackler of the ball but is prone to making some errors of judgment when defending inside his half. However, he is more renowned for his offensive skillset as he is a great crosser of the ball and usually generates a lot of power with his shot attempts from long range.
The England international can be a strong presence on the ball as well when he is playing well on the pitch. At the moment, he is facing an uncertain future at the Merseyside club with just over a year left to run in his Liverpool contract.
Thus, Real Madrid would be wise to move in for Alexander-Arnold this summer as he would undeniably enhance the quality of Carlo Ancelotti’s first XI in the coming seasons. At 25, the English sensation has got his best years ahead of him which makes him a dream option for Los Blancos to consider at the end of this campaign. However, only time will tell whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Spanish capital.
