Real Madrid’s Urgent Situation Could Spell Trouble for Liverpool

Real Madrid are currently struggling with poor form, which has reportedly created a sense of urgency at the club. They are now looking to strengthen their squad, with big names like Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold being considered for the January transfer window.

As Alexander-Arnold’s contract at Liverpool nears its end, the Reds could face the risk of losing him for free next summer. This situation might prompt them to consider selling him in January to avoid losing him without a transfer fee.

This has caught the attention of Real Madrid, according to *Fichajes*, as they are looking to bolster their defense to turn their season around. Alexander-Arnold is among the players on their radar, along with RB Leipzig’s center-back Castello Lukeba.

“Confirmed to Sign!” – Major Transfer Boost for Liverpool Announced!

Liverpool will be understandably worried by this development, as it could be difficult to resist the opportunity to earn money from Alexander-Arnold’s potential exit, even if parting with such a key player mid-season seems nearly impossible.

Trent Alexander-Arnold transfer: What’s the best strategy for Liverpool?

Liverpool find themselves in a tough spot, as there seems to be no good outcome unless Alexander-Arnold agrees to a new contract soon. The Merseyside club surely can’t afford to lose such a key figure for nothing, given his market value is likely in the region of £100 million.

Alexander-Arnold is widely regarded as one of the best players in his position globally, and replacing him would undoubtedly come at a high cost.

Real Madrid, aiming to sign top talent, would certainly view the England international as a priority. Their current poor form might accelerate their plans to move for him. Lukeba would also be a valuable addition for Los Blancos, as the club seeks to improve following back-to-back home defeats to Barcelona and AC Milan.

£676,000-a-year player makes a plea for Liverpool move

Liverpool has now gone through two consecutive transfer windows without signing a new center-back. Despite exploring options, they have opted not to make any moves, partly due to the rise of Jarrel Quansah.

Joel Matip departed the club as a free agent at the end of last season, leaving Liverpool’s management with a clear but limited focus.

Recent reports suggest that Liverpool is in a position to secure a signing for under £50 million.

Currently, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are the primary choices for the center-back role, with Quansah as backup. Michael Edwards understands that the team could face a defensive crisis with just one injury, emphasizing the need for action in the upcoming months.

One player actively seeking a move to Liverpool is Bologna’s Sam Beukema. The Dutch defender expressed his interest, stating (CorSport via SW): “There are so many fantastic teams in England, so if another great club like Liverpool came along I would be happy to go there one day.”

Beukema had a standout season with Bologna, helping them qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time. The 25-year-old made 29 appearances in Serie A under current Juventus manager Thiago Motta, achieving 13 clean sheets.

Earlier this month, he played for 62 minutes at Anfield during a Champions League match that Arne Slot’s team won 2-0.

Beukema’s contract with Bologna runs until the summer of 2027, and he earns approximately £676,000 annually. Whether he will realize his ambition of playing for Liverpool remains to be seen.
