Spanish giants want right-back ready for Club World Cup duty
Real Madrid are now expected to pay Liverpool a transfer fee to secure Trent Alexander-Arnold before his contract expires on June 30, according to reports. The motivation? To have him available for the revamped FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off June 14.
> Trent’s deal is winding down, but Madrid are pushing to finalize the move by June 1, offering compensation of around £900,000 to Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold, reportedly earning £240k/week in his new Real deal, has long made up his mind — Marca says he decided to leave as early as late 2023, even before Klopp announced his departure.
Having helped Liverpool lift their 20th league title, Trent’s final touches in red — including a late winner vs Leicester — now look like a perfect farewell before he joins the Galáctico ranks.
