Real Madrid are reportedly hoping to sign three Liverpool players in 2025 as they look to bolster Carlo Ancelotti’s first-team squad.

Los Blancos have endured a tricky start to the new campaign and they are expected to spend heavily next summer in a bid to reassert their dominance in La Liga.

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of their preferred transfer targets and the Englishman is widely expected to seal a free transfer move to the Santiago Bernabeu when his contract at Anfield expires at the end of June.

However, Real Madrid are also interested in signing Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah, according to GiveMeSport and Fichajes.

Toni Kroos’ retirement has left Los Blancos a little light in central midfield and Gravenberch’s immense form since Arne Slot’s arrival at Liverpool has reportedly caught the eye of Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

In addition, the Spanish giants are also attracted to the possibility of signing Salah on a free transfer, despite the presence of Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe in their current forward line.

Salah, 32, is due to become a free agent next summer and he has repeatedly stated that he is yet to receive a contract extension offer from Liverpool, suggesting that a departure is increasingly likely.

Trent Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool?

While Real Madrid’s pursuit of Gravenberch and Salah seems slightly unlikely, Alexander-Arnold remains a key target for Ancelotti’s men.

The England international is viewed as their priority right-back target, as they search for a long-term heir to Dani Carvajal, and a move appears to be on the cards in 2025.

However, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has urged the 26-year-old to sign a new deal at Anfield.

“Trent should be loved no matter what happens, but he will be respected more than loved if he leaves this summer,” Carragher told The Telegraph. “Local players get treated differently to overseas stars. It is just how it is.

“If I could offer my advice to Trent it would be to sign a deal and get yourself a realistic buyout clause so the option is there if the chance of a move comes around again.

“That way, if Real still fancy it, Liverpool could get a few quid and Trent will always be remembered as Liverpool’s greatest right back.”
