Real Madrid has been eyeing the move for Trent Alexander Arnold since last year
Real Madrid has been eyeing the move for TAA since last year as they have wanted the English fullback for a long time, and ever since the injury to Dani Carvajal, the signing of Trent has been imminent. Trent has also been keen on the move for this summer as he has ambitions of winning the Ballon D’or as a full-back and thinks he can only win one, if he is playing for the biggest club in the world.
Dani Carvajal has been sidelined for the season as he has suffered an ACL, and now is undergoing rehab. He has been injured since 5th October when he got injured against Villareal.
And might get featured in the Club World Cup in June depending on his rehabilitation and recovery
Trent might have to start on the bench when he starts to play for Real Madrid and will be featuring on the bench as it has been a tradition at the club that they do not start new signings straight unless there is no player already of the same position.

Antonio Rudiger is the biggest example of that, as he had won the Champions league with Chelsea and arrived at Real Madrid but he started on and off the bench as there was no place for him in the squad. Militao and Alaba were preferred by Carlo Ancelotti as he usually plays his trusted players and it was only after a season that he started regularly in the team sheet.
Xabi Alonso has been rumored to arrive at the club
With Ancelotti also set to leave the club, Xabi Alonso has been rumored to arrive at the club and it would depend on his plans and tactics.
Ancelotti has been playing Lucas Vasquez at the right-back position after Carvajal’s injury and has continued to play him during the season. Fede Valverde has also featured at the right-back position during important matches or the time when he has been injured.

Arnold will be pivotal to Real Madrid’s come back next season as they will be counting on the star full-back to provide quality balls into their final third of the field. Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. will be benefited the most as TAA’s quality can only be matched with the pair’s speed and agility.
