Real Madrid Reject Kyle Walker Deal, Trent Alexander-Arnold Undecided

Real Madrid Opted Against January Move for Kyle Walker

Real Madrid reportedly decided against making a January transfer move for Kyle Walker to strengthen their defense. Despite hints from manager Carlo Ancelotti about the possibility of bringing in a new player to cover for defensive injuries, the club ultimately chose not to pursue the option.

David Alaba’s Return to Full Fitness Satisfied Ancelotti’s Demands

Carlo Ancelotti’s need for defensive reinforcements was satisfied by the return to full fitness of David Alaba, closing the door on any potential signings until the summer transfer window. The club is unlikely to make any new additions before the end of the current transfer window.

Real Madrid’s Pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold

Real Madrid’s top target for the upcoming transfer window remains Trent Alexander-Arnold, as the club is determined to bring the England international to the Spanish capital. Despite two rejected offers from Liverpool, negotiations are ongoing as Alexander-Arnold nears the end of his contract.

Walker Offered to Real Madrid on Loan

According to reports from Marca, Real Madrid had the opportunity to sign Kyle Walker on loan to cover for Dani Carvajal’s position at right back. However, the club chose not to pursue this option, and Walker has since joined AC Milan with a purchase clause available in June.

Real Madrid Maintains Focus on Alexander-Arnold Negotiations

Real Madrid’s decision to forego signing Kyle Walker, even as a short-term solution, was driven by their commitment to securing Trent Alexander-Arnold. The club is not expected to submit a third bid for the player, allowing both parties time to make a decision.

Future Scenarios for Alexander-Arnold

If Alexander-Arnold remains at Liverpool beyond January, the Reds may miss out on a transfer fee for the player. The coming months will likely see a showdown between Liverpool and Real Madrid for the talented defender’s services.
