Real Madrid s "psychological warfare": Want to let Liverpool release Arnold, Wilz becomes the key pawn?

Although England right-back Trent Alexander Arnold's contract with Liverpool will expire in June, Real Madrid has not given up on his efforts to sign him in advance. What is even more noticeable is that Real Madrid seems to be putting pressure on Liverpool by showing goodwill to German star Florian Werz, and staged a "psychological war".

Real Madrid is seeking to buy Arnold for the Club World Cup, which is intended to be held in the Club World Cup in early June, according to analysis by multiple British media, Real Madrid hopes to sign the 26-year-old England international before June so that he can represent the team in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in early June. However, Liverpool's attitude is extremely tough - if the player does not renew his contract, they will not allow him to leave the team as a free agent unless Real Madrid pays some compensation. This means that if negotiations fail, Real Madrid may have to temporarily lack the highly anticipated new player during the US preseason.

However, the situation may be changing. "Sport Witness" reports that Real Madrid's interest in Leverkusen's midfield genius Wiltz may not be due to competitive considerations. Since Wilz has been regarded as one of Liverpool's key recruitment targets this summer, and Bayern is also eyeing him, Real Madrid's intervention in the competition at this time is considered a "psychological tactic."

British media pointed out that this strategy may be to send a signal to Liverpool management: if you don't let Arnold go, we may sign your favorite replacement first. The move may force Liverpool to make concessions and accept the result of Arnold leaving the team early without charging a transfer fee.

It is worth mentioning that there is a private connection between Wilz and Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso. The latter has coached Leverkusen and has had experience in cooperating with the German star, which also adds some possibility to Real Madrid's potential operations.

Although Real Madrid is pressing step by step, Liverpool is still regarded as the most likely side to sign Wiltz. With Arnold's departure almost a foregone conclusion, Liverpool's senior executives are actively looking for an all-round midfielder/winter to strengthen the midfield, and Wiltz is the ideal candidate. Although Bayern is also interested, Liverpool has the initiative at the negotiating table.

Just recently, Liverpool held a special ceremony at home Anfield to send farewell to Arnold, who had just won the Premier League with the team. Faced with the applause and cheers from the fans, this meritorious player from youth training was moved to tears.

He said: "I can't describe my mood at this moment. I was booing some fans a few weeks ago, but now I'm getting such recognition. I hope that one day everyone will understand that everything I do is for this team. I have never stopped loving Liverpool. For me, today is the happiest day in my life."
