Slot Announces if Arnold Will Transfer for Madrid in January: I've Talked to Him

One of Real Madrid's main goals is to secure the transfer of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Maintaining interest in the Englishman to strengthen the right wing position, the club is ready to finish this operation. However, Arne Slot has made clear the current situation of the player.

"I've talked to him; I talk to all the players from time to time. With Trent, it's the same." These were the words with which the Dutch coach clarified his situation with Arnold. Aware that the player can start negotiating his departure, Slot has shown some desperation about losing his star.

"He's totally committed to us, and I can tell you he'll play on Sunday!" added Slot to confirm the Englishman's presence. Still, his departure hasn't been completely ruled out, leaving the door open for a future exit.

The situation with Arnold

Considered one of the best right wings in the world, Arnold has stood out at Liverpool for nine seasons. Consolidating himself as an icon for the 'red' fans, the Brit has made evident his desire for a change of scenery. With his contract ending this summer market, Real Madrid has seen the opportunity to finish his transfer.

While his arrival was planned for the summer, the club hasn't dismissed the idea of an addition this January. Despite having to disburse some capital, it wouldn't be for an exorbitant amount.

Despite having secured Arnold's commitment to the team, the conversation Slot had with him shows quite the opposite. Without knowing the details of this conversation, this action might have been taken by a Slot trying to convince his player to respect his contract.

Real Madrid's call

Even with Slot's attempts, Real Madrid is gaining more ground to carry out this transfer. While the operation would still take some time, the club is fully confident in achieving it given Arnold's desire to become a 'merengue.'
