For some time there has been speculation about the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool FC, because his contract ends in summer. Both the transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano and “The Athletic” report that Real Madrid is working on a transfer -free change from the 26 -year -old right -back. Even in the past, the royal, well -known player managed to guide you to the Spanish capital free of charge.
Alexander-Arnold has been wearing the Reds jersey since he was six years old and debut for the professionals shortly after his 18th birthday. In the meantime, the world’s most valuable right -back stands for 349 games for Liverpool, in which he scored 22 goals and prepared 87 more. Alexander-Arnold is on the way to celebrating his second Premier League title with the Reds, because nine game days before the end you lead the table with a twelve point lead. He also won the Champions League with his youth club, once the FA Cup and twice the EFL Cup.
The position on the right defense has become a problem area for real coach Carlo Ancelotti this season. After Daniel Carvajal’s cruciate ligament rupture in early October, which was set there for years, Lucas Vázquez is only a nominal right -back in the squad. Most recently, Federico Valverde repeatedly acted in this position. As “The Athletic” reports, the Madrilenen Alexander-Arnold has been watching for two years and has been trying to convince him of a change since January. According to Romano, a written offer was submitted to him.
Liverpool threatens trio-next transfer-free real coup?
With a market value of 75 million euros, Alexander-Arnold is the world’s most valuable professional with a contract with 2025. But the English international is not the only regular person who could leave Liverpool free of charge in summer. The working papers from top scorer Mohamed Salah and captain Virgil van Dijk also lose their validity at the end of June. With 54 goal participations in 43 missions, the Egyptian is significantly involved in the successful season of the Reds. In the past few weeks, neither of the two personal details really got momentum, Salah even assumed a farewell at the beginning of the year.
While Liverpool is worried about the departures of the three regulars, Real Madrid has recently shown that they can attract professionals. It was only last summer that Kylian Mbappé, with a market value of 180 million euros, then moved to the Spanish capital at the end of his contract at PSG. David Alaba 2021 from FC Bayern and Antonio Rüdiger 2022 from Chelsea also went from FC in 2021. Alaba’s market value was 55 million euros, which was 40 million euros from Rüdiger. However, transfer -free transfers are far from being free, because there is usually a high level of hand money. This should also be the case with Alexander-Arnold.
