Trent Alexander-Arnold, the 26-year-old Liverpool defender, has recently been linked with a move away from the club. His contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025, and Real Madrid is reportedly interested in signing him. Although there have been discussions about a potential contract extension, Liverpool has not yet reached an agreement with the player.
There is a possibility that Alexander-Arnold could join the Spanish club for a reasonable fee in January. According to a report from Defensa Central, Liverpool might allow his departure for around €30 million (£25 million). While the club is reluctant to lose such a key player, they could consider selling him if he pushes for a move and an offer of around £25 million is made. The report also mentions that the player is very eager to make a move to the Santiago Bernabéu.
If Real Madrid is unable to finalize the deal in January, they will look to sign him at the end of the season when he could potentially join on a free transfer.
Alexander-Arnold could transform Real Madrid
Alexander-Arnold is widely considered the top right-back in European football at the moment, making him a potentially fantastic signing for the Spanish club. Real Madrid needs to find a high-quality, long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal, and the England international is an ideal fit.
In addition to his defensive skills, the Liverpool star excels with the ball at his feet. His long-range passing, vision, and set-piece deliveries could offer a new attacking edge for Real Madrid.
As Real Madrid looks to build a world-class squad for the future, it’s no surprise they’re targeting one of the Premier League’s top talents. Losing Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer would be a significant setback for Liverpool, and it remains to be seen if they’ll be willing to sell him when the transfer window opens next month.
