Waiting for Alexander-Arnold. Real Madrid aims to bring back Alex Jiménez on loan

Real Madrid is interested in re-signing right-back Alex Jiménez from Milan on a temporary basis to replace the injured Dani Carvajal.

Details. According to reports from AS and Calciomercato.com, Real Madrid is considering the possibility of bringing their former player Jiménez back on loan for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

The versatile 19-year-old spent 10 years in the youth teams of Los Blancos before joining Milan in 2023.

Initially, the Spaniard joined Milan on loan with an option to buy, which was activated in 2024 for €5 million. Madrid has a buyback clause, meaning they have the option to sign Jiménez permanently for €9 million this summer or €12 million in the summer of 2026.

However, it seems that the "Royal Club" is interested in a loan move in January, as they are expected to finalize a deal for a top-class right-back permanently in the summer.

Reminder. Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract expires in the summer, has been Real's primary target throughout the season, and they will resume their efforts to sign him in the summer.
