Brace yourselves, Liverpool: Real Madrid are coming again

Liverpool and Real Madrid consistently find themselves competing for the same players during transfer windows, operating in remarkably similar markets.

Numerous stars currently playing for Real Madrid, including Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo Goes, Aurelian Tchouameni, Eder Militao, and Eduardo Camavinga, were heavily linked with potential moves to Liverpool before ultimately signing with the Spanish club.

A specific instance of this competition occurred last January when Real Madrid attempted to sign Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, who had six months remaining on his contract. Real Madrid reportedly offered €20 million for the player, but Liverpool rejected the bid.
