The situation that worries Real Madrid the most is not the playing pattern that is not well connected between players, but the injury problems that continue to befall important players in the squad. Carvajal injury has raised major concerns about the solidity of the back line, Real Madrid have started taking steps to bring in new players in the winter transfer market.
Real Madrid are trying to offer €45 million to sign Trent Alexander Arnold, who has reportedly rejected Liverpool contract extension offer. This situation is very beneficial for Real Madrid who are in dire need of a right-back, Liverpool are in a disadvantageous position because if they do not accept the offer from Real Madrid, they will have to see him leave as a free agent at the end of the season.
Alexander Arnold's contract with Liverpool ends only in the summer of 2025, that's more than half a year, and I don't think Real will be able to wait that long, and I doubt that Liverpool will want to terminate the contract with their defender early. The fact that Liverpool is in no hurry to discuss the terms of a new contract with Alexander Arnold does not mean that they are ready to let him go, and this situation will definitely be to his advantage, if there is demand for the player, he can always demand better contract terms.
