Liverpool has not yet reached an agreement with defender Trent Alexander-Arnold for a new contract, and it is more likely to move to Real Madrid than to remain in Anfield.
This is according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg (through Givemesport.com).
Alexander-Arnold is out of contract in the summer, which means that it seems to leave the club in a free transfer unless the meseyside club can reach an agreement to extend its current agreement. Real Madrid’s interest could be tempting for the English right side, and now we are closer to his expired contract.
Reporting to X, Plettenberg has confirmed that there is still no agreement between Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool for a new contract. As it is, it is believed that it is more likely to sign for Real Madrid than to extend its stay in Anfield.
The news of a transfer to Real Madrid is more likely that Alexander-Arnold keep his childhood club worries about Liverpool supporters. A player of his caliber should move for club record rates, but the reds will lose it for nothing.
Plettenberg reiterates that Liverpool does not give up, but it could be a concern that they have not yet reached an agreement. It is an awkward situation for Liverpool due to Real Madrid’s interest. The Spanish club is one of the greatest in the world, so it will not be easy for red when it comes to negotiations.
The reports suggest that Alexander-Arnold is already winning £ 180k a week, so Liverpool will have to be careful when offering a new contract. It is ready to be an occupied period for decision makers in Merseyside, with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk also to leave anything in being.
Due to its age, Alexander-Arnold has the highest transfer value, and will be a great blow to Liverpool if he does not depart at all. On the other hand, the right side arrived through the Academy, so it is not as if they were a considerable loss in the International of England.
