Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move away from Liverpool in recent months, with Real Madrid interested.
A report from Defensa Central has claimed that Real Madrid are keen on 25-year-old Liverpool utility man Trent Alexander-Arnold. But the Englishman wants to sign a new deal with the Merseyside club instead.
The development will come as a major boost for Liverpool, who will hope to hold on to their key player. Alexander-Arnold is a world class player who has established himself as an indispensable asset for Liverpool in recent years.
The Reds cannot afford to lose a player of his quality, and they will be delighted that the boyhood Liverpool fan wants to sign a new contract with them. It is hardly a surprise that Real Madrid want to sign a player of his calibre.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is already one of the best players in the Premier League and he is still only 25. The England international is likely to improve with coaching and experience. The utility man could be the ideal long term replacement for someone like Dani Carvajal.
However, Liverpool have an exciting squad and an ambitious project as well. The versatile Englishman is content with his role and the performance of his team. Alexander-Arnold does not seem keen on a move away from the Reds right now, and it seems unlikely that Real Madrid will be able to convince him this summer.
Liverpool cannot afford to lose key players
Liverpool are set to lose manager Jurgen Klopp in the summer, and they cannot afford to lose anymore key players. Replacing the charismatic German manager will be quite difficult in itself and losing a key player along with him could be a devastating blow.
They will hope to hold on to their best players beyond this summer at the development regarding Alexander-Arnold will be a major boost. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid decided to move on to other targets in the coming weeks. They are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world and should have no problems attracting elite talents from around Europe.
