Real Madrid are reportedly ready to entertain bids for Trent Alexander-Arnold amid rumoured interest from Newcastle United and Manchester United.
According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are rumoured to be open to considering the sale of summer arrival Trent Alexander-Arnold. The right-back has had plenty of injury issues since his switch to the Bernabeu, with Newcastle United and Manchester United showing interest as per the story.
Trent Alexander-Arnold completed his high-profile move out of Liverpool right before Real Madrid’s Club World Cup campaign. While he was widely expected to leave on a free transfer, the Spanish giants did end up paying a modest fee for his early release for the tournament.
Things have not panned out as per plan for the England international, as injuries have hampered his growth in the team so far. The defender has suffered another problem of late, which has led to speculation that Real Madrid might consider his future.
Now, the report states that Real Madrid might consider offers for the 26-year-old wide man, amid rumoured interest from Newcastle United and Manchester United. It’s quite strange to see the latter being linked with a move for a boyhood Liverpool fan, meaning there’s rarely a scenario in which Alexander-Arnold might even consider a switch to Old Trafford and tarnish his massive legacy as a Liverpool player.
Newcastle United might be a good shout, given they are anticipating Manchester City’s interest in Valentino Livramento in the near future. Hence, it would make sense for them to target a player of the 26-year-old wide man’s calibre, although the report is seen as baseless from a lot of different angles.
Real Madrid to sell Trent Alexander-Arnold?
From a business perspective, a player of Alexander-Arnold’s calibre will command a significant fee in the market, and given the modest outlay from Real Madrid, they could make a huge profit. However, Real Madrid are set to be patient with the player and consider him for the long-term future.
The injuries are pretty common in players adapting to a new league, although the persistent absence does lead to media speculation. For now, it’s about regular game time, and when fit, the 26-year-old wide man is a mainstay in Xabi Alonso’s plans, and that may be the case moving forward.
