It has been reported in Spain that Trent Alexander-Arnold has informed Liverpool’s management that he intends to join Real Madrid in the summer. With his current deal with the Premier League leaders set to expire at the end of the current campaign, the 26-year-old may be able to depart Anfield as a free agent the following summer.
Although an agreement has not yet been struck, Liverpool is eager to sign the England international to a new contract. Real Madrid has identified Alexander-Arnold as one of their top targets for the summer transfer window, but they also contemplated bringing in a new right-sided defender in January because Dani Carvajal was sidelined for the rest of the season due to a cruciate ligament injury.
Alexander-Arnold has now told Liverpool that he wants to join Real Madrid at the end of the season, according to the story that tops Marca’s front page on Saturday. Alexander-Arnold has made “several attempts” to agree to a new contract with Liverpool, but the defender is determined to sign with Real Madrid, the source continues.
Alexander-Arnold Wants A Transfer To Real Madrid
The Marca story claims that because of his acquaintance with Jude Bellingham, a midfielder for Real Madrid, the local-born right-back is aware of what Los Blancos stands for. The club didn’t want to start January without a deal with their right-back, so pressure mounted in the most recent talks with Liverpool. Marca is aware that Alexander wants to relocate for a new experience in life as well as football.
This summer, Liverpool will have to choose between allowing Alexander-Arnold to depart on a free transfer or for a fee in January. Furthermore, Liverpool might be able to strengthen their right-wing defense even though they will lose a creative playmaker.
