The Real Madrid has experienced a true drama in defense this season. Injuries have left the merengues practically without players in this area of the field, with Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao suffering physical setbacks that have forced them to say goodbye to the season. For this reason, the sports management has set to work to reinforce the defense during the summer and has a clear target in sight.

It is Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool expires on June 30, and as of today, he has not signed his renewal with the 'reds'. Most of the information that has emerged regarding this speaks of an agreement with the Madrid entity to join the team for the next season, but Mike Brown, former head of scouts for Manchester United and Blackburn and an expert in transfer matters, does not rule out the player's continuation in Merseyside.

Is Real Madrid heading for another failure?

According to the specialist, the right-back will delay his decision until the end of the season, and the 'reds' could convince him to stay. "He is not going to make a decision until the end of the campaign. Everything will depend on how Liverpool performs competitively from now until May. If they can win the Premier League and compete for the Champions League, they could convince him. But I think he will make them wait," Brown commented.

"Things in football change very quickly. I hope he takes his time, weighs everything, and then makes a decision," concluded the Briton to 'Football Insider'. If Alexander-Arnold ultimately chooses to continue playing at Anfield Road, Madrid would sign their second consecutive failure in the market, as Alphonso Davies also 'passed' on their offer to extend his stay at Bayern Munich. The coming months will be crucial.
