Real Madrid, which signed Kylian Mbappe as a free agent (FA), has planned to bring Alexander Arnold (Liverpool).
"Real has set up a plan. It is to recruit Arnold as a free agent in 2025," Spain's As said on Tuesday.
Mbappe broke up with Paris Saint-Germain after this season. In the summer of 2022, Mbappe signed a two-plus-one-year contract but refused to trigger an option to extend his one-year contract. Mbappe, who has now qualified as an FA, has decided to wear a Real uniform.
Mbappe, who moved to Real, sat on a money cushion. Mbappe gets an annual salary of 15 million euros and a bonus of 150 million euros. Real Madrid did not pay a transfer fee, but it became the most expensive transfer to the FA.
Real were not satisfied, however. The team also plans to bring in the Liverpool F.C.'s Sunggol Youth Arnold as an FA. Arnold is a right-back with English nationality. Based on the world's best kick ability, he boasts high-quality play-making ability.
Arnold joined Liverpool Academy in 2004 at the tender age of six. He grew steadily under Liverpool's youth system for 12 years, especially without a single loan until 2016. In 2016, Arnold officially joined the Liverpool first team.
During the 2016-17 season, Arnold won the Liverpool Young Player of the Year award. After winning the Liverpool Player of the Year award, Arnold was named the PFA Team of the Year and even received the 2019-20 Premier League Young Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year award. 메이저놀이터
Arnold had 19 goals and 80 assists in 310 matches in Liverpool alone until this season. Ahead of this season, he has been appointed as the new vice-captain of Liverpool. Originally a right-back, he played as a midfielder under Jurgen Klopp.
At the end of next season, the team that is most interested in Arnold, who will become an FA, is Real. Real will bring Arnold to the FA and use him as a midfielder or right back. It seems that they have already decided on a replacement for Dani Carvajal.
