Real Madrid reportedly informed Carlo Ancelotti about the pending arrival of Liverpool defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer in March.
Although there has been a lot of speculation over Madrid’s interest in the Liverpool right-back.
According to The Athletic, Los Blancos have been preparing for the move for a long time as they make the head coach aware of their intention to sign the 26-year-old.
Madrid’s strategy with Alexander-Arnold is similar to their methodical and careful one with Kylian Mbappe.

The Spanish powerhouses have long had their eye on the England international, whose current deal with Liverpool expires in the summer.
Real Madrid have demonstrated their long-term commitment to Alexander-Arnold by offering him a five-year deal that would keep him with the team until 2030, according to earlier reports.
From Madrid’s perspective, this is a strategic investment in one of the most technically proficient and creative full-backs in the world, not just a temporary addition.
It makes great sense to seek Alexander-Arnold. Madrid are getting ready for the next phase of their backline evolution as Dani Carvajal nears the end of his career and worries about the depth of their right-back group.
The attacking instincts, accurate passing, and vision of Alexander-Arnold would give Madrid’s right wing a new perspective.
Real Madrid will once again make a top-tier acquisition on a free transfer if everything goes as planned, demonstrating once more that preparation and patience frequently outweigh hasty signings.
