Trent Alexander-Arnold will not renew his contract with Liverpool, thus paving the way for Real Madrid to make their move.
According to Cadena SER, Trent Alexander-Arnold will not sign a new deal at Liverpool when his contract expires in the summer. Real Madrid are the front runners for the right-back as Florentino Perez continues to dream about bringing the England international on a free transfer next summer.
Earlier in the season, reports insisted Trent Alexander-Arnold wanted to see Liverpool’s ambition on the sporting field. Given the club’s showing signs of being competitive, the right-back was expected to make his decision on whether to stay or leave.
Liverpool have shown plenty of promise in the early part of the campaign, as they top both the Premier League and Champions League standings. Yet, the 26-year-old is now leaning towards leaving the Merseysiders for a new challenge next summer.
Alexander-Arnold’s current deal expires next summer, and Liverpool fans are sweating over the prospect of losing their homegrown star. The right-back is an important part of the cub and has been instrumental under Jurgen Klopp, and Real Madrid are advancing in the background to sign him.
Florentino Perez continues to dream about bringing the right back on a free transfer to continue building his newest project, which involves some of the best profiles in the world. To further fuel speculation, Real Madrid believe Alexander-Arnold will not sign a new deal at Liverpool, despite the Merseysiders’ keen interest in keeping their star right-back.
Alexander-Arnold keen on a new challenge?
Alexander-Arnold has spent his entire career at Liverpool, where he has won the Premier League and Champions League titles. Real Madrid are eager to bring him as part of their project, although the injury to Dani Carvajal did see reports suggesting they could fast-track the move to January.
Liverpool are open to a cash-plus-player deal involving Aurelien Tchouameni, although Real Madrid would wait until the summer to bring the 26-year-old on a free transfer. Hence, things are out of Liverpool’s hands with regards to Alexander-Arnold, who seems destined to leave on a Bosman deal and unite with his ‘best friend’ Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabeu.
