REAL MADRID are reportedly plotting a TRIPLE transfer raid on the Premier League with Trent Alexander-Arnold spearheading a “new era.”
Bernabeu chiefs have spent the last five years realigning their finances.
And they are ready to splash out on a fresh wave of Galacticos despite adding Kylian Mbappe and Endrick to their star-studded squad this summer.
The Independent claims that Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold is top of the pile for Real, who need a long-term replacement for veteran defender Dani Carvajal.
The England star, 25, is out of contract this summer and can strike a pre-agreement with foreign clubs in January.
Alexander-Arnold has already seen his inverted role changed under new boss Arne Slot.
And after winning the lot during his time at Anfield, the ace may feel it’s time for a new start.
Meanwhile, Real are also hoping to boost their midfield options with an ambitious move for Manchester City anchorman Rodri.
The 28-year-old is one of the first names on Pep Guardiola’s team sheet.
But with City facing 115 charges of Financial Fair Play breaches, Rodri could be on the move next summer.

The Spain Euro winner reportedly wants to return to his homeland while still in his prime.
And Rodri would make a fine replacement for German holder Toni Kroos, who retired in July.
Finally, Real also want a new centre-back following Nacho’s exit to Saudi Arabia.
David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger aren’t getting any younger either.
And Arsenal star William Saliba has emerged as Real’s top choice for the position.
But at just 23 years old, the Gunners are unlikely to give up Saliba without a massive fight.
So it’s added that Real have also added Tottenham’s Cristian Romero to their shortlist.
The 26-year-old may want out if he has another barren season.
And his criticism of the club’s failure to fly international stars back on private jets ahead of the derby defeat to Arsenal has raised questions over his long-term future.
Real’s business may not stop there either.
Long-term target Alphonso Davies is out of contract at Bayern Munich and looks unlikely to pen an extension.
While AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan is seen as fine competition for Thibaut Courtois.
