Real Madrid are preparing to make a big splash in the transfer market. According to José Manuel Moreno, a close friend of Florentino Perez, two of the best players in the world will be joining the Merengues in the summer of 2025.

True to their strategy, Real Madrid are set to further strengthen Carlo Ancelotti’s squad at the end of the season. Spanish journalist José Manuel Moreno, renowned for his close relationship with Florentino Pérez, has shaken up the football world by claiming that Real Madrid have secured the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alphonso Davies by 1 July 2025. Although the announcement was unexpected, it immediately sent Madrid fans and the media into a frenzy.

    Indeed, on his X account, Moreno dropped the revelation. ‘It has been confirmed that Alexander-Arnold and Alphonso Davies will be Real Madrid players on 1 July 2025,’ he wrote. This double deal does not come as a complete surprise. The names of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool’s iconic right-back, and Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich’s Canadian prodigy, had been on the club’s radar for months. Strengthening the defensive flanks is a strategic priority for Madrid’s directors if they are to continue to dominate the European scene.

    What is certain is that the signings could be finalised as early as the start of the January 2025 mercato, although the actual arrival of the two players is still scheduled for the summer. This timing would allow Real Madrid to integrate these reinforcements into their long-term planning, which is essential if they are to build a competitive squad.

    If this information is confirmed, Real Madrid would be making a major splash by acquiring two players considered to be the best in their position. Trent Alexander-Arnold, known for his exceptional crossing ability and vision, would bring a new attacking dimension to the right flank. At just 26, he combines experience and talent, having already shone on the biggest stages with Liverpool.

    Alphonso Davies, meanwhile, is renowned for his speed and ability to project himself forward. At just 24, he represents the future of the left-back position and could become a cornerstone of Madrid’s defence for years to come.

    Unlike many European clubs, Real Madrid take a measured approach to the transfer market. Rather than overbidding on money, they rely on their prestige and history to attract players. Florentino Pérez, a master of the art of negotiation, favours early deals to avoid any last-minute competition.
