Real Madrid to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold for Carvajal replacement

Real Madrid confirm Dani Carvajal's departure after the season finale against Real Sociedad on Saturday. David Alaba also left the club following the match.

Carvajal's exit opens a right-back spot, with Trent Alexander-Arnold identified as the primary replacement target. Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold has agreed personal terms with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's sporting director Fabio Paratici finalized talks with Alexander-Arnold's representatives. The club plans to complete the transfer before the summer window closes.

Alaba's departure follows a season in which he featured 28 times for Real Madrid. Carvajal made 35 appearances across all competitions.

Real Madrid will prioritize defensive reinforcements before pre-season training resumes in July. Alexander-Arnold is expected to join on a five-year deal.
