Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to join Real Madrid, according to reports from Spain. The Liverpool player, whose contract ends soon, has been linked with the team for a while.
The 26-year-old England player has not yet agreed to a new contract with Liverpool, like his teammates Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, who are also close to the end of their deals. This means they can talk to other clubs about moving for free.
Real Madrid had a £20 million offer for Alexander-Arnold turned down earlier, but they now have a verbal agreement with him. He must decide whether to move in January or wait until summer for a free transfer.
Real Madrid Strategic Planning
Real Madrid’s coach Carlo Ancelotti is considering when to make the move. The club wants to strengthen their team and is also interested in Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, whose contract also ends soon and talks for a new deal have stalled.
Davies has had a successful time at Bayern, winning many trophies. Real Madrid sees him as a key target for a free transfer, following their recent strategy of signing players like David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Kylian Mbappé.
Alexander-Arnold has not shared much about his future but has shown loyalty to Liverpool. He said he has been with the club for 20 years and usually keeps contract talks private.
He recently played a full match in Liverpool’s draw with Nottingham Forest. The team is currently leading the Premier League and will play Brentford next.
Fans are waiting for official news about whether Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool soon or finish the season before going to Madrid.
