Real Madrid is gearing up for the first El Clasico of the season on Saturday, October 26, in La Liga. Carlo Ancelotti’s side enters the high-stakes match with confidence, coming off a 5-2 victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, October 22.
As the game approaches, the club is also making plans for key transfers. One of their top targets is a Liverpool full-back, while Arsenal has reportedly shown interest in Real Madrid’s own Rodrygo Goes.
Here are the latest Real Madrid transfer updates from October 24, 2024.
Real Madrid Preparing Huge Offer for Trent Alexander-Arnold
Real Madrid is reportedly ready to offer Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold a massive salary to secure his transfer in 2025. According to Caught Offside, the Spanish giants are willing to pay the English right-back between £14 and $15 million per year. They see him as the long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal.
Alexander-Arnold’s contract with Liverpool is set to expire at the end of this season, and he has yet to agree on an extension. While Liverpool would like to keep him at Anfield, Real Madrid’s offer might tempt him to make the move to Spain.
The club is already in talks with Alexander-Arnold’s agent to negotiate a deal. If he agrees, the 26-year-old could almost double his current salary. The potential for a higher income, combined with the influence of his close friend and Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham, might persuade him to join the team.
Liverpool, on the other hand, is preparing for the possibility of losing their star full-back. Reports suggest they are considering Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, Monaco’s Vanderson, and Fiorentina’s Michael Kayode as possible replacements.
Arsenal Shows Interest in Rodrygo Goes

Arsenal has joined the race to sign Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid, according to Fichajes. The 23-year-old’s future at the club has been under discussion since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Despite the speculation, Rodrygo has had a strong start to the season, with three goals and two assists in 13 appearances across all competitions. However, with Mbappe and rising talent Endrick also in the squad, Real Madrid might consider selling him for the right price.
Liverpool is also reportedly interested in Rodrygo as they plan for the future, with Mohamed Salah possibly leaving the club. Arsenal’s entry into the competition means both Premier League clubs could test Real Madrid’s resolve to keep the Brazilian forward in 2025.
Alphonso Davies Transfer Hits a Snag
Real Madrid’s hopes of signing Alphonso Davies have encountered a potential obstacle. According to SPORT, the Canadian left-back is asking for a hefty signing bonus and a large salary to join the club.
Davies, whose contract with Bayern Munich ends this season, has not yet renewed his deal with the German champions. Real Madrid is interested in upgrading their left-back position, currently held by Ferland Mendy, and sees Davies as a long-term solution.

However, the 23-year-old is reportedly demanding a €15 million signing bonus along with a four-year contract worth €10 million per year. This high cost could be a dealbreaker for Real Madrid, as it might impact their overall transfer strategy.
There are also rumours that Barcelona is keeping an eye on Davies, which could increase the competition for his signature.
