Alonso has made it clear to Real Madrid that it is very crucial that the club complete the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold before the Club World Cup.

Incoming Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has earmarked a member of his squad at Bayer Leverkusen as a potential signing for Los Blancos this summer.

Ancelotti leaves Madrid as one of the club's most successful managers, winning 15 trophies across two spells with Los Blancos, including a La Liga and Champions League double last season.
