Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent months. The 26-year-old right-back is set to become a free agent in the summer of 2025, and Real Madrid is reportedly interested in signing him. While there have been talks of a potential contract extension, Liverpool has not yet reached an agreement with the player.
There is a possibility that Alexander-Arnold could move to the Spanish club as early as January for a reasonable fee, with reports from Defensa Central suggesting Liverpool would be open to selling him for around €30 million (£25 million).
Although the club is reluctant to part with such an important player, they may consider a sale if the player pushes for an exit and an offer of approximately £25 million is presented.
According to Defensa Central, Alexander-Arnold is eager to join Real Madrid. If the Spanish side is unable to secure his signature in January, they are expected to pursue him again at the end of the season, aiming to sign him on a free transfer.
Widely regarded as one of Europe’s top right-backs, Alexander-Arnold would be a strong addition to Real Madrid. With the need for a long-term successor to Dani Carvajal, the England international fits the bill.
In addition to his defensive abilities, his exceptional ball control, long-range passing, vision, and set-piece skills could bring a new attacking dimension to the team.
As Real Madrid aims to strengthen their squad for the future, it’s no surprise they are targeting one of the Premier League’s best players. Losing Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer would be a significant setback for Liverpool, and it remains to be seen if they are willing to sell him when the transfer window opens next month.
