Liverpool have arguably received a significant transfer boost over Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been linked numerous times with Real Madrid recently.
Fabrizio Romano has been one of the sources to talk about it Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid saga, with the Spanish giants interested in the England international as he nears the end of his contract at Anfield.
It goes without saying that Alexander-Arnold would be a huge loss for Liverpool and a great signing for Real Madrid, though All Files Now they are reporting that Los Blancos may have another name in mind for the right-back spot as they could be set to make a move for PSG star Achraf Hakimi.
Hakimi had one spell at Real as a youngster but didn’t see much game time, although he did end up impressing in subsequent spells at Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan before joining PSG.
Hakimi over Alexander-Arnold for Real Madrid?
LFC fans will be hoping this turns into something concrete, as Madrid for Hakimi would surely mean there is no place to bring in Alexander-Arnold as well.
Of course, other top-flight clubs could join the race for the 25-year-old if he reaches the end of his contract, but there aren’t many bigger than Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold came through Liverpool’s academy before making the first team, so it is thought he could still prioritize a longer stay at Anfield, although a move to the Bernabeu would be tempting for him.
Other clubs may not have the same appeal, which would perhaps help Liverpool tie him down for what should soon be the peak years of his career.
