The Athletic says the agreement with Real was struck last month, with Ancelotti also being informed in March of Alexander-Arnold's deal.
Ancelotti has expressed internally concerns about their right-back options with skipper Dani Carvajal not expected to be seen again until November due to a double knee injury.
Alexander-Arnold will arrive initially as a direct replacement for the 33 year-old Spain international.
