Real Madrid Targets Liverpool-Linked Star Amid Growing Frustration with Trent Alexander-Arnold
Real Madrid is reportedly considering a shift in focus to a Liverpool-linked European star, should their frustration with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract negotiations continue to grow.
The Spanish club has long been interested in Liverpool’s vice-captain, with rumors of an offer made earlier this year that didn’t come to fruition.
With only five months left on both Trent’s and Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich’s contracts, Madrid is now exploring alternative options.
As reported by Sacha Tavolieri via Sky Sport CH, Real Madrid’s frustration with slow-moving talks with Trent’s representatives has led them to approach Kimmich’s camp as a potential backup. While Alexander-Arnold remains Madrid’s priority, they are now keeping the possibility of signing Kimmich open if further talks with Liverpool stall.
Kimmich is said to be more open to a move to Madrid than to extend his contract with Bayern Munich, which could give Liverpool fans hope that Trent will stay. However, regardless of Madrid’s next steps, Liverpool needs to act quickly to secure Trent’s future. His strong performance against Ipswich highlighted his importance to Arne Slot’s team, and losing him or other key players like Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk on free transfers would be a major mistake.
With the transfer window closing soon, Liverpool’s management must prioritize sorting out contracts for their key players to avoid costly departures.
