Scoops from transfer experts Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic's David Ornstein earlier this week confirmed the news that Real Madrid were in advanced talks to wrap up the signing of Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the season.
With Alexander-Arnold seemingly having one foot out of Anfield and at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Reds have begun working behind the scenes to sign a talented right-back and have set their sights on Juventus' Cambiaso per reports from Italy. Signing him, however, would not be easy as Manchester City and Bayern Munich have also shown keen interest in signing the 25-year-old Italian.

Juventus must raise €30 million by the end of the financial year to cover the costs of Thiago Motta’s sacking and meet their business targets. Reports suggest Cambiaso could be the player sold by June 30 to help balance the books, with the Bianconeri aiming to fetch a €60m fee from the Italy international's sale.

Having already been eliminated from the FA Cup by Plymouth Argyle in February, Liverpool's season fell apart even further earlier this month as they were ousted from the Champions League in the last-16 by PSG, followed by a Carabao Cup final loss to Newcastle United in the same week.
Arne Slot's men remain the favourites to clinch their only second league title in the Premier League era this season, though, as they hold a healthy 12-point lead atop the league table. Their next game following the conclusion of the international break is a Merseyside derby against Everton next Wednesday, April 2.
