Real Madrid would like to be active on the transfer market in January and continue to pursue Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool. Alexander-Arnold emerged as Madrid's top candidate following a season-ending injury to Dani Carvajal last month. 

A deal for Alexander-Arnold during the season is unlikely and would likely need to wait until the summer when he is out of contract with Liverpool. 

Lucas Vazquez's struggles at right-back in the defeats to Barcelona and Milan have sped up Madrid's pursuit of Alexander-Arnold.
