Real Madrid are reportedly stepping up their efforts to sign 26-year-old Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold in a Bosman move.
According to a report by Football Insider, a deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold could materialise in a matter of weeks, with the 26-year-old closing in on leaving Liverpool and joining Real Madrid in a Bosman move.
The 26-year-old defender will be a free agent next summer, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can convince him to sign a new contract with them. However, they also have other candidates, including Amar Dedic, on their radar as potential replacements.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best players at the club, and losing him would weaken Liverpool immensely. The Reds cannot afford to lose their best players if they are serious about challenging for major trophies.
Keeping Alexander-Arnold at the club should be one of their top priorities. The 26-year-old England international is more than just a defender. He is a playmaker for them as well, and his world-class play-making abilities would be an invaluable addition to the Real Madrid side.
The Englishman could be the ideal long-term successor for Dani Carvajal at the Spanish club. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The defender could be attracted to the idea of joining one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Liverpool fans will certainly hope that the club can convince the boyhood Reds fan to continue at Anfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold is already being tipped to captain the club in the near future, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Liverpool must keen Alexander-Arnold at the club
Trent Alexander-Arnold is still only 26, and he is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. He is yet to enter his peak years, and Liverpool must hold on to him through his best years. The Reds must do everything in their power to convince him. They should look to offer him a bumper new contract and convince the player of their ambitions.
Liverpool have a quality team at their disposal, and they should look to invest in top-quality players in order to convince stars like Alexander-Arnold that they can fulfil their ambitions at Anfield. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. If Real Madrid manage to sign him on a free transfer, it could be one of their best bargain signings in history.
