The famous journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Real Madrid is planning to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Liverpool player, without specifying whether this will be next summer or in the summer of 2025.
The Royal Club is looking for a new right-back in light of the advancing age of Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez, and it seems that Florentino Perez’s management has found what it needs in Arnold, who has shined with Liverpool in recent years.
The English defender’s contract is still extended until the summer of 2025, and no discussions have taken place between the Reds management and the player regarding an extension so far.
Real Madrid is monitoring the situation in preparation for making a move, which will either attempt to sign Arnold next summer for a reduced amount, as is the case with Alphonso Davies, or include him for free in the summer of 2025.
According to Romano, Liverpool does not intend to sell Arnold next summer, so most likely, if the deal is completed, it will be in 2025 and for free.
As for the player, there are no indications of his position on leaving or continuing with the Reds, knowing that he has stressed on more than one previous occasion how happy he is at Anfield and appreciates his role as one of the leaders of coach Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
But with the departure of the German coach and the unclear future vision in Liverpool, many Reds players may be open to leaving, such as Mohamed Salah, as well as Arnold.
It is worth noting that Real Madrid is on the verge of annexing Kylian Mbappe next summer, and the media also indicate that it has reached an agreement with Alphonso Davies to annex him for a sum ranging from 40 to 50 million euros from Bayern Munich.
