Trent Alexander-Arnold, one of Liverpool's star players, may be leaving the team next summer. According to reports from Spain, the 26-year-old has expressed his desire to join Real Madrid in the upcoming transfer window. This news has caused quite a stir among fans and the club's hierarchy, as Alexander-Arnold's current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, making him a free agent.
Although Liverpool has been eager to secure a new deal with the talented right-back, no agreement has been reached. On the other hand, Real Madrid has identified him as a key signing for next summer, with the possibility of signing him in January due to an injury to their current right-sided defender, Dani Carvajal.
The Spanish club's interest in Alexander-Arnold has now been confirmed by Marca, a leading sports publication, who claims that the player has communicated his desire to join Madrid to Liverpool. Despite the Reds' attempts to negotiate a new contract, the defender remains determined to make the move to Spain.
However, it seems that Real Madrid may not have to wait until next summer to sign Alexander-Arnold. The report states that they are waiting for Liverpool to make it clear that they are open to selling their first-choice right-back before the current season ends. This could potentially speed up the transfer process and see Alexander-Arnold in the white of Real Madrid sooner rather than later.
But the Englishman is not the only player whose contract negotiations with Liverpool are in the spotlight. Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are also yet to reach agreements with the club, with their deals also expiring in the summer. When asked about the situation, Liverpool's coach, Jurgen Klopp, remained tight-lipped, stating that he doesn't discuss contract matters and that the players' performances on the field are what truly matter to him.
As the January transfer window draws closer, the pressure may increase for Liverpool to secure new deals with their star players. But for now, they remain six points clear at the top of the Premier League and are focused on their upcoming match against West Ham on Sunday. Fans can only hope that Alexander-Arnold and the rest of the team will continue to perform at their best, regardless of their contract situations.
