At the end of his contract at Liverpool next summer, Trent Alexander-Arnold is in the sights of Real Madrid who have suggested that the Reds recruit him this winter.
Real Madrid wants Trent Alexander-Arnold (26 years old) to the point of reviewing its transfer strategy a little. Used to recruiting players at the end of their contract, the Merengues could recover the Liverpool right-back for free next summer. But according to Relevo, they also proposed to the Reds to recruit him this winter for a modest amount in order to allow the English club to receive compensation rather than a free departure next summer.
Real Madrid have warned Liverpool that they will contact the player
But the argument did not convince the English leaders. According to the Spanish media, Liverpool refused Real Madrid's proposal and still hopes to be able to extend its framework. Otherwise, he is counting on him to conclude the season even if it means losing him for free in a few months. After this negative response, Real Madrid reportedly warned its English counterpart that it was going to approach the player in January, as is permitted, to offer him a contract with a view to joining Spain in July.
The England international has been in Real's sights for several months and seems closer to a departure from Liverpool than an extension. Scorer against West Ham (0-5) on Sunday in the Premier League, the main interested party invited everyone to be quiet by placing his finger on their mouth in celebration. “I don't think it's negative at all. He's playing really well,” Liverpool manager Arne Slot told Sky Sports when asked if Alexander-Arnold's situation was more negative than Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk, also at the end of their contract. “He scored a great goal and the way he celebrated probably says enough.”
According to Relevo, the right-back wants to leave Liverpool, the club of his life, in the best possible conditions. On the side of Madrid, confidence would be in the good chances of obtaining its agreement in the coming weeks. The club is also working on the recruitment of the left back, also at the end of his contract with Bayern Munich.
