Alexander-Arnold’s decision was “confirmed,” and a Manchester City defender was offered a position at Real Madrid. A Spanish report has revealed that Real Madrid has extended an offer to Manchester City

defender Manuel Akanji in the summer transfer window. This information comes as Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is in the process of making a definitive decision regarding his future. The signing of a new central defender this summer has been the top priority for Madrid, according to TEAMtalk’s contributor Ben Jacobs, who reported on March 14.

The defending Spanish and European champions have been exposed as vulnerable in this regard by the injuries sustained by David Alaba and Eder Militao. Additionally, Antonio Rudiger is currently experiencing fitness issues and will turn 32 this month. TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent Fraser Fletcher has been informed by sources that Madrid is in a strong position to acquire Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen. Liverpool and

Newcastle United are also interested in Huijsen, and it appears that Madrid has received an offer for an additional defender. Akanji, a defender for Manchester City and the Switzerland national team, has been proposed to Madrid as a potential summer acquisition, according to Marca.According to the report in the esteemed Spanish publication, Valdebebas is currently discussing the name Akanji as a “surprise.” In 2022, the 29-year-old transferred from Borussia

Dortmund to Manchester City for a reported £15 million. Since then, he has been a significant contributor to Pep Guardiola’s squad. The Swiss star, who has won the Premier League title twice and the Champions League once with the Cityzens, has now expressed his “desire” for a “change of scenery and a new experience.” Marca has also disclosed that Akanji has been proposed to Los Blancos following Alexander-Arnold’s declaration to

Liverpool that he will not remain at Anfield beyond the conclusion of the current season. The report indicates that the England international right-back has declined Liverpool’s offer of a new contract, opting to join Los Blancos as a free agent this summer. Madrid’s transfer policy in recent years has been to acquire exceptional youth players who would contribute to the team’s dominance for an extended period.

The defending Spanish and European champions have signed a number of youthful players due to their significant potential, including Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, and Aurelien Tchouameni. Real Madrid’s most recent developments include Cristian Romero’s promotion and Vinicius Junior’s departure. Madrid has been granted an advantage in their pursuit of Cristian Romero from Tottenham

Hotspur during the summer transfer window. Romero is one of the center-backs that Madrid is interested in acquiring for the Santiago Bernabeu, according to TEAMtalk. The defender is currently being reported to be dissatisfied with the Tottenham medical team’s handling of his injury issues and is instead grateful to the Argentine physicians for their assistance in restoring him to full fitness.
