Real capitulates: no Alexander-Arnold transfer this winter

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but despite the efforts from Madrid, a transfer in January will not happen.

Details: According to Relevo, the Spanish club has officially ruled out the idea of signing the "scouser" in January, despite the wishes of head coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The main reason is Liverpool's reluctance to sell, as the club is still focused on extending the defender’s contract and rejecting all transfer offers, regardless of the price.

However, at Anfield, there is an understanding that a move to Real Madrid for Alexander-Arnold is still on the cards, but efforts to convince him to stay are ongoing. He is not looking to force a move under any circumstances, firmly believing that leaving his club in the middle of the season would not be the best decision.

Reminder: It was previously reported that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has decided not to enter the winter transfer market, instead focusing on the summer window.
