Liverpool already know Trent Alexander-Arnold decision as transfer on cards
Liverpool already know what Trent Alexander-Arnold has decided to do, with a transfer on the cards next summer.
The right-back has been one of the most influential players at the Reds over the years but will soon become a free agent.
Alexander-Arnold’s current contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season, and there seem to be no signs of a renewal.
Real Madrid are interested in the England international, and Spain could potentially be the 26-year-old’s destination next summer.
Madrid move wanted by Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool already know Alexander-Arnold wants to join Madrid in the coming months, according to AS.
The news outlet reports (19 March) that an agreement between Los Blancos and the Englishman is complete, and signing a deal is all that remains.
| Competition (2024/25) | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Premier League | 28 | 2 | 6 |
| Champions League | 8 | 0 | 1 |
| Carabao Cup | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| FA Cup | 1 | 0 | 0 |
It has been claimed that while the Reds are aware of the right-back’s decision, they have not lost faith and feel there’s a chance to convince him to sign a new contract.
Everything is in the 26-year-old’s hands now, with a move 99 per cent done, and only a sudden change from the defender will affect things, which isn’t expected.
Arne Slot set to lose Alexander-Arnold to Madrid
Arne Slot has relied on Alexander-Arnold a lot this season and has been pivotal to the Merseyside outfit’s success in the Premier League.
The right-back missed the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United due to an injury, and the Reds eventually lost 2-1 at Wembley.
Liverpool see Conor Bradley as the England international’s successor, but the 21-year-old has had his fair share of fitness issues in the current campaign.
Jarell Quansah played at right-back against Eddie Howe’s team, but the 22-year-old central defender clearly looked out of place.
Madrid are one of the biggest teams in the world, and it isn’t surprising to see Alexander-Arnold wanting a move to the Spanish capital.
The Anfield faithful will be disappointed if the 26-year-old leaves as they see him as one of their own after his progression from the youth setup to the first team.
It looks like the right-back will leave the Merseyside outfit as a free agent, which will be a big blow for Slot reinforcements will be needed to cover his loss.
