Real Madrid, optimistic about the signing of a defensive duo in the coming days

Real Madrid have been widely linked with both Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies for much of the last year. However, now that both can sign a deal with Los Blancos, the deal is expected to accelerate in the coming weeks.

They were both told that to sign with Real Madrid they had to “do an Mbappé” and exhaust their contracts to the point of being able to sign with Los Blancos, regardless of the pressure their clubs applied to them. Once both players have completed the first part of their instructions, the second phase can begin, which consists of signing and sealing their contracts, deals that could be closed “in the coming days.”

Real Madrid remain hopeful that Liverpool will accept the idea of ​​selling Alexander-Arnold in January, Marca says, but either way, they remain confident that an agreement will be reached in January, with the player or the club. All of their contacts with the Liverpool defender remain positive and they contacted the Reds with Alexander-Arnold’s permission to negotiate a possible sale. Meanwhile, the deal for Davies is “going ahead” despite conflicting reports on the matter.

There is more confidence in Real Madrid to secure the signing of Alexander-Arnold than in Davies, for whom Bayern Munich are making a great move. However, Liverpool are said to have been close to matching Real Madrid’s contract offer in the hope of convincing Alexander-Arnold. With Davies, reports in Germany say that the Bayern side are confident they will also be able to reach an agreement with the Canadian after making significant progress.
