After Dani Carvajal’s severe injury, the right-back position has become the most pressing issue for Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti is eager to see it resolved this month.
According to Relevo, the Real Madrid head coach remains hopeful that Liverpool will reconsider and agree to sell Trent Alexander-Arnold in January.

Ancelotti is not interested in alternative candidates for the position and believes Real Madrid should wait specifically for Alexander-Arnold.
Even though there is confidence that the England star will arrive in the summer, when his contract at Anfield expires, Los Blancos are hoping to fast-track his arrival to this month, more so after last Sunday’s mauling at the hands of Barcelona.

Liverpool, for their part, have been firm on their stance of not wanting to sell their homegrown star in January despite the risk of losing him for nothing in the summer.
But with little over two weeks left in the winter window, that stance might be changing.
