Real Madrid are monitoring Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation closely as the Liverpool star closes in on the last year of his deal.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid is keeping close tabs on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contractual situation at Liverpool with a view to a summer move. The 25-year-old Liverpool star will enter the final year of his deal, with the player and club not indicating new development so far.
Real Madrid monitoring Trent Alexander-Arnold
Real Madrid are in the market for more marquee signings and could have set their sights on one of the critical stars of the Premier League. Trent Alexander-Arnold has featured on their radar for some time now, and this summer, things could take a different turn that may not please Liverpool fans one bit.
Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring the 25-year-old Liverpool star’s situation ahead of the summer as Alexander-Arnold enters the final year of his deal. It’s a precarious situation to let a player of his calibre run down his contract like that, which will bring some of the biggest sides closer to him, which in this case is Real Madrid.
Florentino Perez wants a long-term option for Dani Carvajal as he accumulates the best profiles in every position over the last few years. Eduardo Camavinga, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and now potentially Kylian Mbappe are part of this plan, which could appeal to any star, including Alexander-Arnold.
When the summer arrives, Liverpool must have sorted out Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation, or else they would face the threat of teams like Real Madrid snatching him away. There’s nothing concrete on that front for now, although things could get intense with each passing week of the right-back not committing his future at Merseyside.
Liverpool planning to sell Alexander-Arnold?
Fabrizio Romano insists Liverpool are not too concerned about the links to Real Madrid, as the club may have a plan in the background for the 25-year-old. Despite rumblings that the club are reportedly looking for replacement options for Alexander-Arnold. The truth is far from that, as things could get more evident in the coming period.
Alexander-Arnold wants a massive pay rise that will take him close to someone like Mohamed Salah regarding salary. Whether Liverpool are open to it remains the question, as Romano insists the player’s next move is still being determined, as a decision might depend on what Liverpool offers as a contract in the next phase.
