Real Madrid is considering a move for Liverpool's right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold as he approaches the final months of his contract, alongside center-back Virgil Van Dijk. Contract negotiations with Liverpool have stalled, leaving the futures of both players in doubt. Former player Tony Cascarino suggests that signing Van Dijk would enhance Real Madrid's defense, given his experience and quality. The departure of both players would significantly impact Liverpool and their aspirations under manager Arne Slot, especially at a crucial time in the season.
Tony Cascarino believes that a move for the Dutch defender is a no-brainer for the La Liga giants. It would make perfect sense for Real Madrid to sign Virgil van Dijk as well as Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool when their contracts expire this summer.
Real's transfer policy has shifted to successfully target free agents, including Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Kylian Mbappe. It seems like a no-brainer.
To lose Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk in the same transfer window would be a massive blow for the Premier League leaders, and their project under manager Arne Slot would take a huge hit.
Van Dijk has been the pillar of the Liverpool team and their defensive leader. His importance to the club, as a player as well as a leader, cannot be stated enough.
