Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club in recent months.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will be a free agent at the end of the season, and Real Madrid are hoping to snap him up on a Bosman move. According to a report by Football Insider, Liverpool still have hope when it comes to retaining the England international defender.
The 26-year-old is one of the best players at the club, and he is expected to captain the club in the long term. His departure will be a massive blow for Liverpool, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Alexander-Arnold is more than just a defender, and his ability to create goalscoring opportunities with his long-range passing makes him a unique asset. Liverpool will struggle to replace him if he leaves the club. In addition, losing a world-class player like him on a free transfer would be a major blow.
It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can convince the player to join them. He will be out of contract in the summer of 2025, and Liverpool have not been able to agree on a contract extension with him yet.
Real Madrid will certainly fancy their chances of getting the deal done. If they manage to sign him on a free transfer, it would be a masterstroke for them. They need a quality long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal, and the England international certainly fits the profile. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Liverpool must hold on to their best players
Apart from Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool will have to secure the futures of Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah as well. All three players will be out of contract in the summer of 2025, and Liverpool are yet to secure an agreement with them.
The Merseyside outfit will be hoping to fight for major trophies in the coming seasons, and it remains to be seen whether they can hold onto their best players. They must do everything in their power to convince the English full-back to commit his long-term future to the club.
