Real Madrid's January transfer plans have reportedly been confirmed as the Spanish giants close in on Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold. The England international has been central to the Reds' incredible start to the campaign under Arne Slot - with his side sitting top in England and in Europe.

However, consistent speculation has fixated on the future of three of their most integral players with the deals set to expire - with Alexander-Arnold among them. The full-back has since been closely linked with a potential move to Madrid next season - with Mail Sport understanding that the Spanish giants are growing increasingly convinced over signing Alexander-Arnold.

Now, a report from Marca has suggested that the England international is their sole target heading into the January window. The outlet claim that, due to the injury of first-choice full-back Dani Carvajal, Alexander-Arnold has become the priority for Madrid.

Real Madrid have reportedly made Trent Alexander-Arnold their priority heading into January. Those in Madrid are adamant Alexander-Arnold wants a new challenge under Carlo Ancelotti. Thought the likelihood is that the Liverpool star will join for free in summer, there is potential he could force a move through during the January window.
Alexander-Arnold is first choice, with Tottenham's Pedro Porro believed to be a back-up, and the good relationship between the clubs dictated that Los Blancos informed Liverpool in decent time and there were no issues. Initially, the Reds backed themselves to convince the fan favourite to stay at Anfield but they are thought to be losing the race at the hands of the 15-time Champions League winners.
