Trent Alexander-Arnold's Real Madrid presentation planned as Club World Cup plan emerges
Former Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to be presented as a Real Madrid player on Wednesday, with the right-back scheduled to fly to Spain following England's friendly against Senegal on Tuesday. Advertisement Xabi Alonso and his Madrid players are due to fly to the United States on Saturday ahead of the Club World Cup starting next week, which leaves a very small window for Alexander-Arnold's unveiling. The Alonso era at Madrid started on Monday, June 9, as he took his first training session since agreeing to replace Carlo Ancelotti as Los Blancos boss. Alexander-Arnold, of course, was not present as he is still on England duty, but he will be in the Spanish capital later this week ahead of the flight to the US. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz medical, Milos Kerkez talks, Darwin Nunez future READ MORE: How Liverpool should spend $171M if Florian Wirtz transfer collapses Advertisement Dean Huijsen, another Madrid signing from the Premier League, is expected to be presented at the Bernabeu on Tuesday having finished up on international duty with the conclusion of the Nations League on Sunday. Alexander-Arnold's move from Liverpool to Madrid was confirmed at the end of May, with the Spanish club paying the Reds an $11 million transfer fee — despite the player's Liverpool contract being due to expire just a few weeks later. That's because Madrid wanted Alexander-Arnold to be part of Xabi Alonso's squad for the start of the Club World Cup. Madrid could have waited until July 1 to sign Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer, and he would have been eligible to play in Los Blancos' remaining games in the tournament, but the Spanish giant was keen for the player to have a period of integration in the weeks building up to the revamped event. Advertisement Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold has been told that he remains behind Kyle Walker in England's right-back pecking order by a Three Lions legend. Ahead of England's win over Andorra on Saturday, in which Curtis Jones was selected ahead of both players, Chris Waddle said: "It's hard to name a better English right-back [than Walker]. Trent Alexander-Arnold can be exceptional but he's not outstanding as a true defender. "He's got his talents, there's no denying it, with exceptional passing and dead-ball delivery, but if it's him or Walker, we're not blessed in that position for a young right-back who does what you expect. I think Kyle is the pick of the two right now, his all-round game puts him ahead of the rest."

🚨 River bid for Román Vega falls short for Argentinos Jrs
With the transfer of Franco Mastantuono to Real Madrid practically confirmed —although he would leave after the Club World Cup—, River Plate will go to the market in search of substitutes for the 17-year-old jewel, who had established himself as a starter and key piece in Marcelo Gallardo's team. But the Millionaire is also betting on reinforcing other key positions, and the payment of the millionaire clause for Mastantuono's departure will give the Núñez club room for maneuver. Advertisement Thus, a few minutes ago it was revealed that River made a concrete offer to Argentinos Juniors for the pass of left-back Román Vega. Insufficient offer According to information from César Luis Merlo, the figure of around six million dollars that River proposed for 80% of Vega's card was insufficient for the leadership of the Bicho de la Paternal. As is usual in these cases, it is expected that both clubs will initiate negotiations to find an agreement that serves all parties. Román Vega, 21-year-old left-back, was trained in the youth teams of Argentinos Juniors, the world's nursery, but had an early European experience when he was loaned out in 2022 to play for Barça Atlètic, the FC Barcelona reserve team that competes in the Spanish third tier. Vega made his debut in the 2021 League Cup with the Argentinos Jrs. first team, at just 17 years old, and already has 63 appearances with that shirt, with one goal and three assists.

With shades of Man Utd, Urawa vow to bring the noise at Club World Cup
Japan's Urawa Reds will compete at the Club World Cup in the United States (Yuichi YAMAZAKI) Their raucous fans are the self-styled bad boys of Japanese football and the team's red shirts, white shorts and black socks bear more than a passing resemblance to Manchester United. But while the fallen English giants won't be at the Club World Cup, Urawa Reds will and are set to be roared on in the United States by more than 5,000 followers. Advertisement Japan's best-supported club face Inter Milan, River Plate and Monterrey in the opening round when the revamped competition starts on June 14. Urawa is a nondescript suburb about an hour north of Tokyo and the team have been known to draw crowds of over 50,000 to their Saitama Stadium home. Crowd trouble is extremely rare in Japan but Urawa were banned from last season's domestic cup after "ultra" supporters ripped down barriers and threatened opposition fans. In 2014 they were forced to play a game behind closed doors after fans displayed a racist banner. Supporters say they are misunderstood and are looking forward to hoisting their flags and belting out their songs in front of a global audience. Advertisement "People who aren't really interested in football think that we're scary people, but I always tell them that's not true," Urawa fan Kakeru Inoue told AFP before a recent game. "I often bring workmates to games to show them what it's really like." - United link - Urawa began life as Mitsubishi's company team and their official name of Urawa Red Diamonds is a nod to the industrial behemoth's corporate logo. They were originally called Mitsubishi Urawa Football Club, or MUFC, another link to the Premier League side. Despite having been crowned Asian champions three times, Urawa have only won the domestic J. League once, in 2006 under German former player and 1990 World Cup winner Guido Buchwald. Advertisement Urawa have appeared at the Club World Cup three times, most recently losing 3-0 to Manchester City in the semi-finals in 2023. Veteran goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa says they are proud to be the only Japanese team at the inaugural 32-team Club World Cup. "The competition will get a lot of attention from around the world and it has a big meaning for us," he said. "Who knows whether a Japanese team will play in it again because you need to become Asian champions to earn that right." - 'Ultra culture' - Professional football only started in Japan in 1993 but it took root quickly in Urawa. Advertisement The club signed overseas players including Buchwald and brought through homegrown internationals like Shinji Ono, Makoto Hasebe and current Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. The club's achievements have at times been overshadowed by their fans, who hung a banner reading "Japanese only" over an entrance to the stands before a 2014 game. The incident earned Urawa the dubious distinction of becoming the first Japanese club to be ordered to play a game behind closed doors. One Urawa fan who has attended games since the J. League began said the club were "all about ultra culture". "That's something you can only get in Urawa," said the supporter, who gave his name only as Nakaji. Advertisement "No other club can match us." Urawa are coached by Poland's Maciej Skorza, who is back for a second spell after leading the club to the Asian Champions League title in 2023. The Club World Cup is being played in the middle of the J. League season, which runs from February to December. Urawa have made a strong start to their domestic campaign and look poised to challenge for the title, having finished 13th last season. Norwegian defender Marius Hoibraten says the Club World Cup is "a motivation rather than a distraction". "Being able to meet the best teams from other countries is a nice experience for us, everyone is buzzing," said the 30-year-old, one of the few non-Japanese players in Urawa's squad. "It's a little bit of unknown water. Everyone is really looking forward to it." amk/pst/as
