Real Madrid’s Interest in Trent Alexander-Arnold

Real Madrid isn’t ready to give up on securing Trent Alexander-Arnold, even though their recent attempt was quickly turned down.

The Spanish giants are reportedly planning another move to try to bring the Liverpool defender to the Bernabéu this January.

A Rejected Offer on New Year’s Eve

On New Year’s Eve, Real Madrid made their first formal approach to Liverpool, hoping to sign the right-back in a mid-season transfer.

However, their offer was rejected almost immediately.

Despite this, insiders in Madrid suggest that they are not backing down and may return with a fresh proposal soon.

Could Madrid Act Now?

Real Madrid is prepared to make another bid, potentially offering around £20 million to secure Alexander-Arnold’s signature right now rather than waiting for him to leave for free in the summer when his current contract with Liverpool expires.

The 26-year-old defender is eligible to speak with other clubs as he is in the final months of his deal, so he could negotiate a pre-contract agreement with Madrid at any time.

A Key Role in Real Madrid’s Plans

With Dani Carvajal sidelined due to a long-term injury, Real Madrid is eager to add Alexander-Arnold to their squad.

The club believes that bringing him in this month could be the missing piece in their pursuit of both La Liga and a 16th European Cup title.

Currently, they’re trailing Atletico Madrid by just one point in the league race, making it a crucial time to strengthen their team.

Ancelotti’s Push for a Deal

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s manager, is reportedly spearheading efforts to sign the Liverpool star as soon as possible.

However, it seems unlikely that Liverpool will allow Alexander-Arnold to leave mid-season, especially with the team chasing success in both domestic and European competitions.

Even though the player could leave on a free transfer in just six months, Liverpool remains firm that no deal has been made for him to join another club, either now or in the summer.

The Challenge for Real Madrid

While Real Madrid remains confident in their ability to convince Alexander-Arnold to make the move, the challenge lies in persuading the player to leave his boyhood club.

Sources suggest there has been no indication from the defender that he’s ready to switch to Spain.

Liverpool, for their part, are holding strong and insist that no agreement has been reached for his departure.
