Offer for Alexander-Arnold: Real Madrid's Price Limit to Transfer Star Player Now

Madrid seems to be moving faster and faster toward transfering Trent Alexander-Arnold. Information published in the last days of 2024 resonates strongly in the early stages of 2025, placing the English winger in Bernabéu changing room definitively.

From the Valdebebas offices, they view this potential transfer on a free transfer with much less optimism than some media outlets have projected. While it's true that the feelings about his arrival are positive, there's still a lot to be done.

Especially considering the fantastic institutional relationship that links Liverpool with Real Madrid. It would be precisely based on this excellent bond between the English entity and the white club that the Madrid executives would have sent an offer for Alexander-Arnold to Merseyside. Knowing that the '66' red is a very valuable asset for Arne Slot, the English team's coach, the idea is to compensate the English directors with a transfer.

Even if that means bringing forward his transfer to January. Information published by the newspaper As reveals that Real Madrid would have put about 15 million euros on the table for Trent Alexander-Arnold, an approach rejected in Merseyside. The reason, according to this same sports newspaper, is that it doesn't match Liverpool's valuation of one of its top stars today.

Firm rejection

Without reaching an agreement, the positions are immovable, and the 'case' is headed for a resolution with a free transfer... or a renewal against all odds. Because Madrid would be willing to bring forward Alexander-Arnold's incorporation, paying a transfer, but at a reasonable price: those 15 millions seem to be the cap set.

The good historical relationship that connects Liverpool and Real Madrid would have motivated this gesture of goodwill sent from the Valdebebas offices. The board doesn't think negatively about Liverpool's rejection of the proposed offer, since they would do the same: attempt a renewal until the end.

It doesn't seem like they have much time available in Merseyside. Unless there's a radical change, Real Madrid is slowly advancing toward the acquisition of Trent Alexander-Arnold as a free agent. Additionally, January 2025 is the ideal time to solve the competitive future of the right-back.

The white leadership hopes it will be confirming his arrival in Santiago Bernabéu locker room for next summer. Not only because it would secure the transfer of a great player at zero cost, but also because it would help solve one of the major issues the first team has been facing for months. At stake is the succession of Dani Carvajal and the replacement of Lucas Vázquez when the Galician leaves the white club.
