Trent Alexander-Arnold suffers fresh ankle concern after first La Liga assist for Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold
December 2025

Trent Alexander-Arnold finally recorded his first La Liga assist for Real Madrid with a raking ball that Kylian Mbappe turned into the opener, only to limp off early in the second half with an apparent ankle injury that raises new doubts over his start in Spain. After a sharp attacking display and steadier defending against Nico Williams, Alexander-Arnold went down for treatment and was replaced by Raul Asencio, leaving Xabi Alonso sweating on scans while already missing Dani Carvajal and dealing with criticism from Spanish media who had branded the former Liverpool man clueless after earlier erratic performances and a recent hamstring layoff.

Liverpool line up shock Camavinga move after record splurge

Eduardo Camavinga
December 2025

Liverpool are weighing a move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga despite his contract running to 2029, as Arne Slot pushes for another rebuild after a disastrous start that has followed a £450m summer spree on Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and new full-backs. Camavinga has been monitored as Wirtz struggles to adapt, Isak endures scrutiny over his controversial switch from Newcastle, and defensive reinforcements Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez battle inconsistency, leaving Liverpool unsure Slot can stabilise a title defence already rocked by nine defeats in twelve games.

Manchester United weigh huge move for unsettled Valverde

Federico Valverde
November 2025

Manchester United are preparing an offer of around £87 million for Federico Valverde as they chase a flagship midfield signing, encouraged by reports of a recent bust up with Xabi Alonso that has left the Uruguayan more open than before to the idea of leaving Real Madrid. Real are expected to demand close to £100m or point to his release clause, while United must persuade a two time Champions League winner and vice captain, who prides himself on playing any role for the team, to leave a dominant side and front a rebuild without guaranteed Champions League football.

Real Madrid walk away from Ibrahima Konate deal amid form slump

Ibrahima Konate
November 2025

Real Madrid have informed Liverpool they no longer intend to move for Ibrahima Konate, ending the defender’s hopes of a dream Santiago Bernabeu switch at the same time as his Anfield future remains unresolved with contract talks still stuck and his deal running down. Liverpool first tried to extend Konate’s contract in 2023, but recent errors and a poor display in the 4-1 defeat to PSV have dragged focus from negotiations. With Madrid out of the race he can still speak to foreign clubs in January while Slot keeps picking him amid a thin defensive group.

Vinicius Jr has eased his stance in renewal talks and is now close to accepting Real Madrid’s reduced salary offer, stepping back from initial demands to match Kylian Mbappe’s pay as the club pushes to secure his long-term future before 2027. Earlier, negotiations froze amid tension with Xabi Alonso as Vinicius bristled at substitutions, clashed during El Clasico and led a small disgruntled group, but a dressing-room apology and public embrace after the 4-3 win at Olympiacos have reset relations and unlocked progress.

Olympiacos briefly stunned Real Madrid with a superb team goal, only for Kylian Mbappe to respond with a ruthless seven-minute hat-trick before half-time, flipping the game from 1-0 down to a commanding Real lead and adding another historic European feat to his record. After ending a three-match scoring drought with the equaliser on 22 minutes, Mbappe headed in a second moments later, then latched onto Arda Guler’s lofted pass to drill a low third past Konstantinos Tzolakis. The explosive burst reasserted Madrid’s control and ensured another match ball for the France star.

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl is trying to persuade Dayot Upamecano to sign a new contract rather than leave on a free next summer, with Real Madrid, Liverpool and PSG monitoring the 27-year-old defender’s situation ahead of potential negotiations from January. Eberl says Bayern have made a strong offer but insists the decision must be about the “overall package” and not just money, calling Upamecano one of the world’s best centre-backs and describing an extension as an “internal king transfer”, while the player remains non-committal in public.

Luka Modric admits leaving Real Madrid for AC Milan at 40 was “a step down” but insists it was the right move, already contributing a goal and two assists as he becomes an integral figure in Allegri’s title-chasing Serie A side. Drawn by Milan’s history and boyhood affection for Italian football, Modric signed a one-year deal and says he feels “phenomenally” welcomed by teammates, staff and fans, describing the city and club as high-level and the closest thing to Madrid he could realistically join.

November 2025

Real Madrid confirmed Thibaut Courtois will miss the Champions League trip to Olympiacos after being diagnosed with a viral gastrointestinal infection, while Dean Huijsen has also been ruled out. The setback removes one of Madrid’s most trusted starters from a key away fixture. Courtois left Valdebebas before training and medical tests later revealed the infection, prompting the club to withdraw him from the travelling squad and monitor his recovery. His availability for the upcoming league game against Girona is unclear, forcing Madrid to lean again on their reserve goalkeeping options.

Real Madrid
November 2025

A22 and Real Madrid are filing separate lawsuits worth a combined €4.5 billion against UEFA, claiming the governing body’s attempts to block the European Super League caused major financial damage to the project and violated competition rules established by recent court decisions. Citing the CJEU ruling that UEFA and FIFA acted unlawfully in blocking the Super League and a Madrid court’s refusal to overturn that judgment, A22 has sent Ceferin a formal letter demanding UEFA approve the revamped proposal within eight weeks, warning of further legal consequences if it resists.
