Trent Alexander-Arnold is entering the final year of his contract with Liverpool, and fans are growing anxious as the 25-year-old will soon be able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside of England, starting early next year.
Real Madrid, known for building one of the strongest squads in global football, has expressed interest in Alexander-Arnold. The right-back is reportedly close friends with Jude Bellingham, sparking rumors about a potential free transfer to Santiago Bernabéu.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update that may ease some concerns. According to Romano, Liverpool is preparing to start contract talks with Alexander-Arnold. He noted, “They will have their chance to keep Trent at the club and extend his contract. Let’s see how the talks will go,” in his Daily Briefing with CaughtOffside.
Romano also addressed the speculation surrounding Real Madrid’s interest, clarifying that there has been no significant progress, stating, “I mentioned Real Madrid’s interest in March, but there’s nothing new or concrete to add at the moment.”
With Liverpool gearing up to negotiate new terms, there’s optimism that the six-time European champions can secure Alexander-Arnold’s future at the club. Given that Alexander-Arnold has spent his entire career at Liverpool and remains a key figure under new manager Arne Slot, it seems unlikely he would leave and risk his legacy at such a historic club.
