I think Alexander would likely remain at Liverpool because he is most needed with the teams current performance and hopes for the premier League trophy. Many other performing players like Salah has also not yet been approached by same team for contract extension talks, so I believe Liverpool will likely have that talk with him and dissuade any move to the Spanish giant, Real Madrid.
The controversial saga coming up when it involves Real Madrid having possible links to sign Alexander Arnold from Liverpool this summer. For me, this is mere football rumor that's obviously attached to every prominent player that's actually in his prime. Alexander Arnold is a good RB for Liverpool and also involved in the key project for Arne Slot for the club, letting him exits from Anfield would do harm in the defendlines and we know that.

Real Madrid have always have eyes on good players and cross-check the signings they've made previous season, it's actually been great for them. Madrid president, Florentino Pérez operates and managed the club so well that they're ranked the best club in Europe all these years. Real Madrid have effective scouting sector that directly offers bids for these rare gems in football.

No I think what really comes into play here is the fact that Alexander Arnold's contract is about to expire and he is a world class RB that would perfectly fit into the Real Madrid game. These high speed, high precision players is what played an important role for Real Madrid for a very long time now and Real Madrid loves RB and LB players to have goal scoring qualities. For quite a while, David Alaba was the one to take the free kicks for Real Madrid, but he is not part of the team at the moment. I can see why they would try to sign a free agent like Alexander Arnold to equip themselves also for the future. It would be the right call in my opinion, but competition for that player will be fierce and he can already be looking forward to signing the best contract in his life. 125 million net for five years and a signing bonus of tens of millions on top of that.

Those players mentioned are old players so there purported transfer wouldn't generate any fuss, we are talking about quality and most sought after player whose transfer would be subject of discussion, beside Mbappe had already moved to Real Madrid so there won't be any transter news about him except if he decides to move to Saudi Arabian club which I believe is not possible considering his age and status, Mbappe signed long term contract with Real Madrid though since joining the team he had not really prove his worth however with time he would adapt to laliga.
His decision to move to Real Madrid was the final because he had been interested in a long time and Mbappe had also said that he was quite enthusiastic in Real Madrid because this club was his choice. There was no discussion after this for Mbappe to move to another league and he had not yet entered one season at Real Madrid so it was impossible for discussion to be related to his career.

The quality of him when playing for Real Madrid is good it's just not fully adapted but slowly he has shown good development and he has also scored several important goals for the team.

I stand with Palestine.

Frankly, the second half they played against Borussia Dortmund was probably the best half they played all season long. Now this begs the question whether they will be able to bring on that level consistently or mostly in the Champions League when it is needed? But one thing is for sure, whenever they are interested in new superstars and they watch games like these, who wouldn't want to be playing for Real Madrid? That second half was like a high speed train against a bicycle and I thought Dortmund might have the chance to take something home after the first half.

Funnily enough though, during the halftime interviews one commentator said that this 0-2 doesn't mean much. I thought he must be wrong, but eventually it really meant nothing. Vinicius Junior made the difference.
Yes Real Madrid played amazingly well in second half against Borussia Dortmund. This makes us hopeful they will do well in Champions League. They have problems with consistency but this game shows what they are capable of. Playing for Real Madrid is very appealing to top players.  Halftime comments were interesting because they showed how unpredictable football can be. Dortmund played well in first half but Real Madrid dominated second half. To keep playing this well Real Madrid needs to stay focused and consistent. If they do they will be almost unbeatable in Champions League.

I think this summer is going to have fun with the transfer market.
In addition to the players already reported, I think they can change team:
Aubameyang, Coutinho, Aguero, Giroud, Mbappe, Belotti.

I am convinced that we will see exaggerated purchases with new records this summer

Real Madrid is too good to go without a trophy this season. They have the chance of winning the La Liga,  Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League.
We still can't judge Real Madrid should win the trophy. Their performance in UCL and La Liga aren't really impressive. Although they have Mbappe, Mbappe still can't contribute significantly. On the other hand, Barcelona performs well this season. Barcelona even leads the La Liga table. Even if Real Madrid will win the domestic trophy, it seems to be harder that the previous season.

Carlo Ancelotti has not given any hint of leaving Real because he has agreed to extend his contract to 2026.
Ancelotti already tried to leave Real Madrid. If you followed the news, you must know Ancelotti was rumored to be the coach of Brazilian national team. But Real Madrid board still wants him staying. So Ancelotti stays until 2026. After 2026, Real Madrid is possible to have a new coach. However, this only can happen if Real Madrid doesn't try to offer Ancelotti a new contract extension.

Previous rumor:
- Ancelotti to coach Brazil at 2024 Copa America - CBF boss (espn.co.uk)
- Carlo Ancelotti would be keen on leaving Real Madrid to coach the Brazil national team (transfermarkt.co.uk)

Rumor has it that Man City are also preparing a possible replacement for Pep Guardiola, and the right person right now is Xabi Alonso. He has a game with a clear system and is quite capable of identifying the abilities of the players as he did with Leverkusen. The problem is that Madrid is also interested in Xabi Alonso, so I hope the hunt for a coach must be taken seriously, especially Madrid who seem lazy about the future of the coach. I don't doubt Ancelotti but we also need to see with quality players like Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Valverde, Bellingham etc. there must be a coach who is able to provide an effective game system.

So... i don't doubt Ancelotti, but I doubt Ancelotti  Grin A strange statement to be honest, or I misunderstood you. As for Xabi, I hope he will not be associated with City in any way, he has an impeccable reputation, why would he want to tarnish it? If Papa Carlo retires, then a move to Real Madrid would be the most obvious option. Liverpool have apparently dropped out of the race for Xabi as they are happy with Slot.

I doubt with your speculation for Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti will not win any trophies in this season, although his tactician not dominance on ball possession but Carlo Ancelotti is most smart manager how his games play keep focus on offensive without have many ball touch and his experienced won many trophies for Real Madrid or become the most UEFA Champion League winner as head coach.
I know Alonso is best replacement for Carlo Ancelotti but after leaving his position, recently Ancelotti not linked or rumor yet will leave his position and Madrid keep trusted for him become manager until his contract over.

This season have many matches left and Madrid remaining three points from Barcelona, how possibilities with Carlo Ancelotti not winning trophy yet in this season? I think too early for predicting with Ancelotti failure.

Real Madrid is too good to go without a trophy this season. They have the chance of winning the La Liga,  Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League. With the quality of players they have I don't think that they will fail to win at least one of these competitions. Carlo Ancelotti has not given any hint of leaving Real because he has agreed to extend his contract to 2026. Xabi Alonso turned down offers to take over Bayern Munich and Liverpool because he was committed to Bayer Leverkusen. I assume that Ancelotti might not extend his contract beyond 2026 and might also consider taking a national team job or retiring from football.

Frankly, the second half they played against Borussia Dortmund was probably the best half they played all season long. Now this begs the question whether they will be able to bring on that level consistently or mostly in the Champions League when it is needed?

I think they will try to convince him to extend his contract. Trend Alexander arnolt is a very good player. Liverpool will not want to lose him. If he wants to transfer to Real Madrid again, the team cannot stop him. Therefore, in the meantime, I think it would be the right move to ask him for a transfer fee during the transfer period. For this, Liverpool should act very well.
If Real Madrid comes for a player, it is best to consider them already there because it will only take some time before they go there. I don't think we will see Alexander Arnold in Liverpool next season. I can also say the same for William Saliba because Real Madrid has also shown an interest in him.  Liverpool should start planning for life without him because that is the inevitable and something that will happen in just some time.

I agree with you that if a player is desperate to move, especially to a club as big as Real Madrid, it is indeed difficult to make him stay like what PSG experienced when they had to lose mega star Mbappé for free. Liverpool must take steps quickly so that Alexander-Arnold does not leave without any benefits for the club. Hopefully the management can think clearly and make the most of the January transfer market.

Alexander-Arnold can indeed be considered an important player for Liverpool. They must make faster negotiations for a contract extension. But if the desire to move comes from the player himself, it is better to discuss it with the club management to include him in the list of club players to be sold. So no one will be harmed, either the club or the player. However, his name is now increasingly well-known because of his performance at Liverpool. Doing something that could harm his current club would not be good. It would be better to have a discussion as soon as possible. That is to make the player's career direction clearer.
In fact, Liverpool, where the player plays, is not an easy team. They are also one of the strongest teams in Europe and they are also playing for the championship in the Premier League. That's why I believe Liverpool will make a lot of effort to keep him on the team, but I'm not sure how long he will want to stay in Liverpool when there is the reality of Real Madrid because Real Madrid is a team that every player can dream of.

Many other performing players like Salah has also not yet been approached by same team for contract extension talks, so I believe Liverpool will likely have that talk with him and dissuade any move to the Spanish giant, Real Madrid.
He said that he only wants to win trophies, I also think that he would like to extend his contract with Liverpool, but since such an offer has not followed, he will wait for other offers and he certainly will not be against becoming a Real Madrid player if he receives such an offer. He can go to Real as a free agent, Real Madrid manages to negotiate this with players, as they did with Mbappe, as PSG did not try to persuade him to stay in the team, he rejected all offers. If Alexander-Arnold wants to become a Real Madrid player, then nothing will stop him from doing the same.
When a player has decided to leave with the motivation of wanting to win more trophies with another club, it is very difficult to convince him to stay even if the club has given him a bigger offer. The temptation from Real Madrid is very tempting, it is very difficult for any player to refuse the offer, Liverpool must immediately make a decision so that Alexander-Arnold does not leave as a free agent, they must use the January transfer window to get some money if he really does not want to extend his contract.

In terms of quality both of them are nothing different, both are always enter Champions League and have a chance to become a champion.

I guess he would join Real Madrid because he was once a player and he's a Spaniard too, so it's a win-win situation.

If Manchester City not able to get Xabi Alonso, don't worry, at least they can get Ten Hag. Cheesy

I will not take this news as speculation but I will take it as poor lies and propaganda cook by people that want to see Manchester City downfall. A good season in Leverkusen and they want to used thag to make Guardiola feels like he has never done enough. Who in the history of Premier League has won Premier League 4 times in a row and they think they can replace him? He is irreplaceable for now until the team are worst like Manchester United.

We have many coachs in other clubs that are doing worse and when I say worse, they lose back to back and yet their club don't just terminate their contract and replace them but people think Guardiola is going to be replace by some random dude. The jokes is going to be on Manchester City and I pity how the club performance is going to look later, most of them are there because of Guardiola influence on them.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is indeed an important player for Liverpool, he is one of the core players of The Red squad. His name has been widely linked with Real Madrid last season, even in the summer transfer window yesterday. However, there is no certainty regarding this news. Well, I don't know if Madrid really wants this Liverpool mainstay defender, or is it just an issue, but it is possible that they will bring him to Santiago Bernabeu next season. I don't know much about this rumor, especially since TAA has often been linked with Real Madrid. Considering that Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract will expire on June 30, 2025, Liverpool will certainly take steps to tie him up by extending the contract so that the player will not move to another club and league. or, his name will be included in the winter transfer window. However, that will not be very effective, it seems that Liverpool will take an approach to negotiate extending his contract so that the defender remains at Anfield. I am sure the club is very aware, otherwise he will leave as a free player.

Indeed, if you look at his career statistics where he always plays in almost every match in every season, which means Trent Alexander-Arnold is an important part that Arne slot must maintain in the winter transfer market. Alexander Arnold's contract will expire at the end of this season so the management must prioritize immediately submitting a new contract for Arnold.

However, on the other hand, many elite European teams want to tempt Arnold to join their team such as Real Madrid. As we know, Real Madrid has always been successful in hunting the players they target, so Liverpool must be able to prevent important players for the team from leaving in the near future. Therefore, Arne slot must be able to persuade him to stay and management must also rush to send him a new contract proposal.

Damn!!  Grin
Ten Hag is too good to let Man United go, so let him be with the Red Devils to continue winning the Premier League trophy every week. I agree that Man City should gradually have a long term plan as a replacement for Pep Guardiola because inevitably in the end a club of their level must be able to maintain quality. It is not strange if Madrid is reluctant to recruit players in January, let alone find a replacement for Ancelotti. Sometimes feeling too comfortable can actually backfire on them.

If Ancelotti doesn't get any trophies this season then Xabi Alonso will be his replacement, Yeah the situation is favorable for Xabi to be the Real Madrid coach.

There must be a coach who is sacrificed by Real Madrid, namely Ancelotti.

IDK where the hell such rumor is coming from, but it's totally opposite to reality and sounds fake. He said the latest rumor was that City was looking for Pep's replacement. But, Ornstein recently stated that Pep is likely to stay by extending his contract.
And i just checked City's fan base, and i see no rumor about City looking for a replacement for Pep, too. Hence, i don't believe if Pep is gonna part ways with us soon.

Speaking about Xabi going to the City, he's happy at Leverkusen; just let him finish with his current club. His club won't release him. Even though, he has a mutual contract with his club to release him once he finds a new club.
