“I'm not worried (...) We just accept the situation as it is,” was Arne Slot's answer to a journalist's question. He asked him about the non-renewal of Salah and Arnold, whose contracts expire in the summer of 2025.

Arne Slot is focused on this season, in which they are candidates to win all the titles. He has a spectacular team, which understands what he asks for and what they have to do to win important things.

Liverpool is trying to convince their players, but they know that they may not succeed. Arnold is excited by Real Madrid's interest and wants to be part of their project.

The highest aspiration for a player

That's what Real Madrid is, even if some still don't accept it. The fact of wearing the jersey of the biggest club in history is exciting for any player. That's why, as soon as Arnold heard about Madrid's interest, he knew what he was looking for.

It is true that he admitted that in the past he followed Barcelona because of their play style, but that is now behind him. Now he is only looking at Real Madrid and hopes to sign his contract with them in three or four weeks.

In the meantime, his absolute priority is Liverpool. They can do great things this season and he has the chance to leave in style. He would be very excited to win everything with the English club before making the move to Madrid.

They count on him

Real Madrid already have the "ok" from Arnold to sign in January. This way, his incorporation would be agreed for the summer of 2025. He is the perfect player to compete for the position with Carvajal in the next season.

The Spanish full-back is going to recover from his injury in no hurry, and Arnold is the perfect person to take his place. Although he doesn't have the same defensive strength as Carvajal, he is more adept at joining the attack and is a great ball-striker.

Madrid will benefit greatly from having a free-kick taker. Arnold has a glove on his right foot. He shows this in his crosses from the wing and in his free-kicks and corner kicks.
