Real Madrid are said to have made one Premier League star their summer priority in the transfer market.

Los Blancos have recruited the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Endrick and Arda Guler over the last two years as the Spanish giants look to the future in terms of up-and-coming talent.

But their recruitment drive is showing no signs of slowing down, with further reinforcements in defence and midfield as being hinted at. One player, out of contract in the summer, is now being tipped with a switch to the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid make Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold their prime summer target, according to reports

According to AS, Real Madrid have made Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold their number one summer target, having previously shown an interest in Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong and Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro.

The newspaper states how a move for the Three Lions international is now described as indisputable at this moment in time, given the injury sustained in recent weeks to regular right-back Dani Carvajal.

Alexander-Arnold is of course out of contract at Liverpool this summer, as well as fellow superstar duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. Real Madrid will be allowed to negotiate a deal with him to sign him on a free transfer, with January 1 mooted as a date talks could begin.

Trent has expressed a desire to be widely remembered as the best player of all time and his ambitions to win a Ballon d'Or could also open the door for a move to the Spanish capital.

He can try and win the Ballon dOr, theres nothing wrong with ambition, Carragher said on Sky Sports following the 2-2 draw at Arsenal at the weekend. But my first thought when I read that was youre not winning the Ballon dOr as a right-back for Liverpool.

Ballon dOr winners normally play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Thats where the best players in the world go. If thats his ultimate ambition, I think he was asked about winning the Champions League, the World Cup or the Ballon dOr.
