Barcelona are keen to sound out a move for Trent Alexander-Arnold next summer, as his Liverpool status remains complex.
According to Fichajes, Barcelona are keen on signing Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer next summer, with the defender’s status at Liverpool still uncertain. The 25-year-old has plenty of top suitors, including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, as the Catalans now seek to beat their rivals in the race.
Barcelona sound out Alexander-Arnold move
Barcelona are not in the best financial shape, and their failure to register summer signing Dani Olmo magnifies those issues. Overall, they are struggling to make things work and are unlikely to be part of the bidding processes to sign notable stars this summer.
In any case, they are still ambitious and dream about bringing in top players despite their current situation. In fact, they are planning well ahead with some bargain deals for next summer, with Trent Alexander-Arnold being a player of interest to the Catalans.
The report focuses on Barcelona’s need for a star right-back, which they have not had since Dani Alves’s departure. The other claim is their need to assert themselves in the market well, and with the 25-year-old Liverpool star’s signing, Barcelona also intends to beat arch-rivals Real Madrid.
As things stand, the 25-year-old Liverpool star has begun the season at Merseysider, with the Premier League side reportedly progressing in contract talks. The situation is very complicated from the outside, as there are no guarantees Alexander-Arnold will sign a new deal and remain at Anfield beyond next summer. Should he not renew, the England international can leave for free and negotiate terms in January.
No shortage of Suitors
The overarching sentiment surrounding Alexander-Arnold points to the possibility of him staying at Liverpool owing to his deep-rooted allegiances with the club. However, when a club like Real Madrid comes knocking, there are chances that even the most loyal players can have their heads turned. Madrid are quietly working to sign him on a Bosman deal next summer, and that remains a huge possibility.
The 25-year-old Liverpool star is also wanted by Bayern Munich, while some top Premier League sides could also express interest further down the line. Hence, it’s essential for the Merseysiders to handle the situation with utmost care or risk losing one of the best players in the game on a free transfer.
