Real Madrid are optimistic about a Trent Alexander-Arnold transfer this summer.
Current club Liverpool, however, have upped the ante with their latest offer and are prepared to pay the 26-year-old €93 million over five seasons.
This is according to The Mirror in England, cited by Marca, who claim that Liverpool are desperate to keep Alexander-Arnold, but believe that with this offer they can do no more to convince him.
Liverpool goes all out
Nevertheless, Alexander-Arnold would earn the same salary at Real Madrid: his salary at Liverpool would be around €18.6 million per season, while Los Blancos are willing to give him €18.72 million per year.
Real Madrid approached Liverpool for a transfer during the January transfer window, but those talks were dismissed out of hand by the Merseyside club, who are trying to persuade Alexander-Arnold to stay at the club. It remains to be seen whether they will change this position if they abandon hopes of retaining Alexander-Arnold beyond the summer, with Real Madrid keen to strengthen the right-back position due to Dani Carvajal's injury.
