La Liga champions Real Madrid are reportedly still keen on signing Trent Alexander-Arnold this month if Liverpool’s asking price does not exceed €35-40 million.
According to an update by Josep Pedrerol on El Chiringuito TV, Trent Alexander-Arnold remains the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions are desperately scouring the market for a right-back after losing Dani Carvajal to a season-ending knee injury. They are open to signing the Liverpool mainstay if the Reds demand around €35-40 million.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and a tricky situation
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of the best right-backs in the world in the last half a dozen years. A native of Liverpool, the Englishman spent his formative years in his hometown and graduated from the youth division at the Merseyside club before breaking into the first-team squad as an 18-year-old in 2016.
The 26-year-old has gone from strength to strength in the last nine years, having been a mainstay at the back for Liverpool. Alexander-Arnold has turned out nearly 350 times thus far for Liverpool while chipping in with 21 goals and 85 assists.
However, Alexander-Arnold’s long-term future at the Merseyside club is uncertain after entering the final six months of his contract. The situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, with Real Madrid among the prospective suitors for the Liverpool full-back.
What next?
Real Madrid initially wanted to put off the search for Dani Carvajal’s long-term successor for a few years after the Spaniard enjoyed an exceptional 2023/24 campaign. However, the Spanish international’s season-ending knee injury has changed the plans, with Trent Alexander-Arnold emerging as the top target for Los Blancos.
The reigning La Liga champions have already failed with an approach for Alexander-Arnold but have not thrown in the towel yet. Josep Pedrerol has suggested that Real Madrid will launch the offensive for the Liverpool mainstay if the Reds demand around €35-40 million to part ways with the English international in the winter transfer window.
While the Premier League heavyweights want to tie Alexander-Arnold to a new long-term deal, it is unclear if the 26-year-old Englishman wants to commit his future to them. So, it will be interesting to see if the Liverpool mainstay joins Real Madrid this month.
