Liverpool Set 2 Conditions for Selling Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid in January

The Merengue team continues to put pressure on the 'reds' to get the full-back in the winter market

Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to arrive in the summer transfer window. Real Madrid are confident that the 26-year-old right-back will sign for the Merengues on a free transfer in June, although they would like him to arrive in January.

The club knows perfectly well that it will be quite difficult to convince Liverpool in the coming weeks. It is highly unlikely that Arne Slot will part with a player like Trent Alexander-Arnold in the middle of the season.

They understand that he doesn't want to renew his contract

Liverpool fully understand that the player doesn't want to renew his contract with them. They will let Trent Alexander-Arnold leave if that is his wish, but not in the winter . The departure of the full-back could affect the future of the ' red ' team for the rest of the season and they don't want to take any kind of risk.

However, there are several possibilities in England that could see Trent Alexander-Arnold end up at Real Madrid . Although Los Blancos understand Liverpool 's position in the negotiations, Florentino Pérez and company will continue to put pressure on.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, a lifelong product of the Anfield club's youth system, has other goals outside the Premier League . The player has the dream of joining Real Madrid , something to which Jude Bellingham , his great friend in the national team, has also contributed.

There is a remote possibility

According to ' Transfer New Live ', Liverpool could put the Englishman up for sale in January for 30 million euros. All this would happen if the player doesn't renew the current contract he has with his current team.

In that case, Real Madrid could choose to send an offer to Liverpool, although the position of the white team is already known to all . The objective of the Merengues is to get the player as a free agent and avoid paying the price for the transfer.

Real Madrid's sporting management are already counting on Trent Alexander-Arnold for next season, albeit with caution . Just as the operation with Alphonso Davies seems to have been slower in recent weeks, the process of hiring the Englishman is reportedly making much more progress.
