How Real Madrid could line up with Trent Alexander-Arnold as Carlo Ancelotti plots ‘new Champions League era’
REAL MADRID could be set to field a brand new Galacticos team next season.
The Spaniards have spent the last five years realigning their finances and are getting ready to splash out on a fresh wave of star signings.
According to The Independent, Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is top of the pile for Los Blancos who need a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal.
Alexander-Arnold, 25, is out of contract this summer and can strike a pre-agreement with foreign clubs in January.
The Spanish champions are also hoping to boost their midfield options with an ambitious move for Manchester City star Rodri.
With City facing 115 charges of Financial Fair Play breaches, the Spain international could be on the move next summer.
The 28-year-old reportedly wants to return to his homeland while still in his prime and would make a fine replacement for Toni Kroos.
Real also want a new centre-back following Nacho’s exit to Saudi Arabia and Arsenal star William Saliba has emerged as a top choice.
Long-term target Alphonso Davies could join as well as he is out of contract at Bayern Munich and looks unlikely to pen an extension.
Those potential signings would launch a brand new Champions League-winning era for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Alexander-Arnold could be the new starting right-back with Davies on the other side, while Saliba could team up with Antonio Rudiger at centre-back in front of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Rodri could link up with Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham in midfield.
Ancelotti could also field a fiery attack consisted of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Endrick.
