Real Madrid close to concluding a major deal in 2025 thanks to Bellingham’s influence, despite the transfer window closing about a month ago, rumors about next year’s transfers remain active, with the club focusing on a group of names.
Real Madrid succeeded in signing Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, as the player arrived for free to Real Madrid after his contract with the French team expired, in addition to the arrival of the young Brazilian player Endrick.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, among these names, Alexander Arnold is considered a major target as a potential replacement for Dani Carvajal.
Arnold’s contract expires on June 30, and despite his preference to stay at Liverpool, reports indicate that his position has recently changed, with part of this shift attributed to Bellingham, who is trying to convince him to join the Spanish club.
The newspaper added that Perez places the English player on Real Madrid’s list of priorities in the upcoming summer Mercato, especially with Carvajal’s advancing age and Real Madrid’s need for a competent player in this position.
Bellingham, who has a strong friendship with Arnold, is reportedly urging him not to renew his contract with Liverpool. In addition, Arnold is feeling uncomfortable under the new manager, which could have a major impact on his decision about his future.
