Alexander-Arnold Takes a Step Closer to Real Madrid after Liverpool's Big Offer

After the victory in the Intercontinental Cup final, everything has returned to normal at Real Madrid in record time. So much so that there's already talk again about the possible transfers planned by the Madrid board for the 2025 summer: the team needs to be expanded as soon as possible.

Not only because of the injuries experienced so far this season 24/25. Several players' contracts end at the end of this season and it doesn't seem that the Valdebebas offices have given the order to extend their stay. That's why it is necessary to continue with the generational change.

One of the most worrying positions is the right wing, where Lucas Vázquez could leave at the end of the current season. With Dani Carvajal seriously injured, that area is a total unknown for the 25/26 season. Not with the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold, an operation that the Madrid bosses would sign on a free transfer.

Liverpool's '66' ends his contract in the 2025 summer and Real Madrid has already made it clear on multiple occasions that they are very interested in transfering him. In that sense, the first offers sent from the Anfield Road's noble area haven't brought closer positions between the Reds' sporting management and the player's environment.

Pay close attention

Not even the latest, revealed by the podcast 'CaughtOffSide'. The English program on European soccer has revealed that Liverpool would be willing to offer a multi-million-pound contract to one of its star players. The salary of the new transfer with the Merseyside club would be around 20 million pounds.

The payment of these fees, per season, would be spread over four years. This mega-renewal planned by the Liverpool bosses doesn't seem to have had much effect according to 'CaughtOffSide': "he hasn't yet committed to the new agreement". This desire to prolong the 'soap opera' gives a lot of hope in the offices of Valdebebas.

The executives led by Florentino Pérez don't lose sight of the 'Arnold case', their main objective for the right-back next summer market. At the same time, knowing that the English player could renew at any time, they also closely follow several 'plan B' so as not to make the same mistakes again.

The transfer of Trent Alexander-Arnold is going slowly but surely. Real Madrid continue to apply slight pressure on the British '66', making their intentions clear and opening the doors to Santiago Bernabéu. The idea seems to fit into the plans of the English defender, eager for new challenges.
