Real Madrid‘s plans to sign Liverpool‘s Trent Alexander-Arnold have been put in jeopardy due to the right-back’s recent ankle injury. Alexander-Arnold suffered the injury during the Champions League clash against PSG and was forced off in the 72nd minute.

Before the injury, Real Madrid had shown strong interest in signing the 24-year-old, offering €20m in January. However, Liverpool valued him at €35-40m, and the deal was put on hold.

According to reports, Real Madrid’s interest in Alexander-Arnold has cooled due to concerns over his fitness. The club is seeking to strengthen their defense, but Alexander-Arnold’s injury has raised doubts about his availability.

Liverpool, meanwhile, must cope with Alexander-Arnold’s absence in a crucial stage of the Premier League season. The player’s recovery will be key to determining his future, and it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will revive their interest in him.
