Real Madrid weigh up move for Liverpool fullback Alexander-Arnold

Real Madrid are weighing up a move for Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Real Madrid have concerns regarding their right-back options, with Dani Carvajal struggling with injury. Real Madrid management have found themselves short after granting Alvaro Odriozola to leave on-loan for Fiorentina for the seasin.

And with Carvajal sidelined, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelott has been forced to play Lucas Vazquez at fullback. He has even tried young midfielder Federico Valverde there.

As such, Turkish transfer expert Erkrem Konur, via Le 10 Sport, is reporting Alexander-Arnold is now under consideration at Real Madrid.

The England international only signed a new contract with Liverpool over the summer and his deal now runs to 2025. Alexander-Arnold has battled with injury this season, though has still managed six appearances, producing three assists.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, despite their fullback concerns, sit top of the LaLiga table on goal difference ahead of champions Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad.
