Dani Carvajal unwittingly confirms Trent Alexander-Arnold's imminent arrival at Real Madrid as legendary right-back insists he doesn't 'fear' competition from Liverpool star

Alexander-Arnold has already announced his departure from Anfield as a free agent at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. While the full-back's next destination has not been officially declared, it has been widely reported that the English star will head to Real Madrid.

Madrid's veteran right-back Carvajal has now unwittingly confirmed the imminent arrival of Alexander-Arnold as he claimed that he is not afraid of competition from the England international. Last week, the Spaniard had hinted at retirement as he admitted that his "sporting career is nearing the end".

Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Carvajal said when quizzed on Alexander-Arnold's proposed move to Madrid: "It hasn’t been made official yet, but it seems so. Fear? We don’t talk about fear here; we’ll be teammates. Competition improves both of us and brings out the best in each of us."

Alexander-Arnold could appear one last time in a Liverpool shirt on the final Premier League matchday on May 25 as the newly-crowned champions take on Crystal Palace at Anfield.
