Real Madrid Nearing Alexander-Arnold Signing, Impact on Kimmich Deal
Real Madrid is on the verge of signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, a move that could directly impact whether Joshua Kimmich also joins the club.
Why Alexander-Arnold Is a Key Target
Contract Situation: His Liverpool contract expires in 2025, making him a prime candidate for a free transfer.
Long-Term Interest: Madrid has pursued him for years, and now they are closer than ever to securing his signature.
Right-Back Reinforcement: With Dani Carvajal aging, Madrid sees Alexander-Arnold as an ideal replacement.
What About Kimmich?
Bayern Contract Ending in 2025: Like Alexander-Arnold, Kimmich could be available on a free transfer.
Versatility: He can play as both a midfielder and a right-back, making him a valuable option for Madrid.
Midfield Needs: With Toni Kroos potentially retiring and Luka Modrić in the final years of his career, Madrid could use Kimmich’s leadership and experience in midfield.
Madrid’s Dilemma: One or Both?
If Alexander-Arnold signs, Madrid might skip Kimmich, as the Englishman would secure the right-back position.
If Alexander-Arnold’s transfer falls through, Madrid could prioritize Kimmich instead.
Madrid could sign both, strengthening both right-back and midfield, adding depth to the squad.
What’s Next?
With other top clubs also interested in Kimmich, Madrid must decide quickly. If Florentino Pérez manages to secure both players, it would be a massive transfer coup—bringing in two world-class talents for free.
