Alexander-Arnold Puts Real Madrid on Alert, His Transfer is More Complicated Than Ever

Real Madrid hope to close the transfer of Alexander Arnold in the summer transfer window. It is true that they can negotiate freely with him from January 1st to reach an agreement. But it wouldn't be official until the season with Liverpool ends.

All the information pointed to his arrival at the white team, it is practically taken for granted. However, it seems that Arnold himself doesn't see it so clearly according to his latest statements. To such an extent that he has left the door open to renew his contract.

The English full-back has spoken to Sky Sports about his situation and the fact that he is ending his contract with the Reds. And the message he has conveyed has put Real Madrid on alert, making his transfer more difficult. He clearly recognizes that there are possibilities of transfer with the English team.

“I have been at the club for 20 years and I have signed four or five contract extensions,” Arnold began by saying. But then he added about these extensions that “none of them have been released.” So it seems that this time he will not announce his decision either.

Real Madrid Will Follow the Same Path to Try to Sign Him

Despite testing the waters for the winter transfer market, Real Madrid are ruling out his arrival in January. It will be from June 30, when his contract with Liverpool ends. As long as he doesn't renew, which would close the doors to Bernabéu for him.

The Merengues' idea is to start talking to him from January 1st . If they see that he is convinced to leave Anfield, they will try to reach an agreement with him directly. Otherwise, we will have to wait until the summer to find out what his decision has been.

Meanwhile, Bellingham continues to lobby Real Madrid to try to secure his transfer. He has a great relationship with his teammate and wants to convince him to follow in his footsteps. A essential help for the Whites although it doesn't seem that it will be definitive.
