Trent Alexander-Arnold, at the end of his contract with Liverpool, has attracted the interest of Real Madrid. Why a departure this summer seems inevitable.
Trent Alexander-Arnoldone of the pillars of Liverpoolwill not leave Anfield this winter. Under contract until next June, the right back was the subject of an approach from Real Madrid. The Spanish club wanted to explore the possibilities of an immediate transfer. However, the leaders of the Reds firmly rejected this attemptaccording to Sky Sports. They reaffirm their desire to keep their player at least until the end of the season.
Real Madrid ready to wait until summer
The Real Madridwell aware of Alexander-Arnold's contractual situation, is considering a different strategy. With his contract ending in June, the England international will be able to sign a pre-contract with another club from January 1. This opportunity places the Merengue in a favorable position to welcome him for free during the summer transfer window.
A stated desire to join Madrid
Sources indicate thatAlexander-Arnold has reportedly already informed Liverpool management of his desire to join Real Madrid. At 26, the defender could begin a new chapter in his career by signing with one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. This choice is part of a logic of progression for a player who has already won everything with the Reds, including the Champions League and the Premier League.
Liverpool facing a dilemma
Although Liverpool have rebuffed Madrid's approach, this situation leaves the club in a delicate position. If Alexander-Arnold does not extend his contract, he will leave the club without the Reds receiving any transfer fee. To avoid this scenario, an extension could be considered, although the player's intentions seem clear.
Alexander-Arnold represents an ideal target for Real Madrid, who are looking to strengthen the right side of their defense. His vision of the game, his quality as a center and his ability to evolve in more offensive roles make him a valuable asset. The Merengue could benefit from his experience and talent to consolidate their squad in the quest for new titles.
