Carlo Ancelotti's potential departure from Real Madrid would have little to no impact on Trent Alexander-Arnold's proposed move to the Santiago Bernabeu, it has been claimed.

Alexander-Arnold, 26, is out of contract at the end of June and Real are confident of securing a deal on a free transfer.

While no move has been agreed and formalised, everything has pointed to the England international leaving his boyhood club for Madrid this summer, at this stage.

But Ancelotti's future at Los Blancos has raised questions about how that could affect Alexander-Arnold's move.

Reports have suggested the former Italian manager of Chelsea and Everton is set to leave Real at the end of the season following their Champions League quarter-final exit.

Brazil want Ancelotti ahead of the next World Cup, while AC Milan and Roma are interested in securing a deal for the 65-year-old, who is one of the world's most decorated managers.

Talks are anticipated to take place soon regarding Ancelotti's future, despite the fact Real are firmly focusing on aiming to win the Copa del Rey on Saturday and the La Liga title.

If Ancelotti decides to leave Real this summer, it's not expected to have an impact on Alexander-Arnold's move to Madrid, however, according to Fabrizio Romano.

He told Sky Sports: "I have said all season that I am not going to speak on my situation.

Scoring goals, playing games, winning games, winning titles - they are special moments for me and I am glad to do my part."

Alexander-Arnold celebrated his winning goal at Leicester in front of the travelling Liverpool supporters.

"As much as we do it for ourselves and our family, we do it for the fans as well, they are the ones who travel to the games and spend their money, so it is the least they deserve to see us give 100% on the pitch and win games," he added.

"So to see us so close, some of us, to a second league title and for others a first, especially in front of fans, which is what we've been missing, is very special.

"Virgil [van Dijk] pushed me to the front to soak it in, get up close and personal.
