Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly committed to joining Real Madrid in the summer and is set to receive a large signing-on bonus.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid are on the verge of pulling off a massive Bosman deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold in the summer. The Liverpool right-back has given his word over a free move to the Santiago Bernabeu once the season ends and will receive an eight-figure signing-on bonus.
Early in the winter transfer window, there was big talk of Real Madrid trying to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool right-back has been their main target for several months now, and many are already convinced he will eventually join the UEFA Champions League holders.
Alexander-Arnold’s current contract ends at the end of the season, thus giving Real Madrid a bumper opportunity to sign one of the best right-backs on a free transfer. The Spanish giants saw a bid rejected by Liverpool earlier in January, as the Merseysiders are not eager to sell in the midst of an important season.
Carlo Ancelotti wanted Trent Alexander-Arnold last month, and there were stories that Real Madrid could return with a fresh offer. While Liverpool have made their stance clear, Real Madrid are expected to tie up a pre-contract agreement for the right-back.
There have been links to other clubs and the prospect of staying at Liverpool. Some reports have stated that Liverpool have offered Alexander-Arnold a bumper five-year deal with a massive pay rise, although it appears the right-back has made up his mind about a move away from the club.
Trent Alexander-Arnold commits to Real Madrid move?
Alexander-Arnold has reportedly committed to joining Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer, and as part of the move, he will receive an eight-figure signing-on bonus. The story states that the right-back will get around €20 million when he signs a long-term contract with a massive pay rise compared to his current salary package.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has won everything at Liverpool and could still add to his trophy haul, as the Merseysiders are still very much active on all four fronts. They are leading the Premier League by six points while finishing the Champions League phase on top of the standings, as Arne Slot is expected to win something at the end of the season.
