Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham have been spotted together once again in Los Angeles, sparking rumors about the Liverpool defender potentially joining his England teammate at Real Madrid.
Their growing friendship has caught the attention of fans, with many speculating about a possible transfer.
As Liverpool’s vice-captain, Alexander-Arnold is heading into the final year of his contract with the club. Negotiations for a new deal haven’t been confirmed, leaving his future somewhat uncertain.
Recent reports suggest that Real Madrid is keen to add Alexander-Arnold to their already star-studded lineup, which includes Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jnr, and Bellingham.
Post-Euro 2024, Alexander-Arnold and Bellingham have been enjoying their time off together in the United States, deepening their friendship.
Their recent escapades in Los Angeles have only fueled speculation that Bellingham might be trying to convince Alexander-Arnold to make the move to Madrid.
The two players’ bond has grown stronger since Bellingham joined the England squad two years ago.
Their friendship became even more evident during England’s Euro 2024 run, and now they’re taking a break together, seen dining at Nobu Malibu among other activities.
This close relationship has led some fans to believe Bellingham might be playing a role in recruiting Alexander-Arnold for Real Madrid.
Possible Future Moves
An agreement for a move could potentially be reached as early as January, considering Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation.
If a deal is made, it wouldn’t be the first time Real Madrid has secured a big-money free transfer, following the recent example of Kylian Mbappe.
Defending Each Other
During Euro 2024, Bellingham defended Alexander-Arnold after criticism of his performances, highlighting his defensive capabilities and positive impact on the game.
Alexander-Arnold also praised Bellingham’s contributions, underscoring the mutual respect and admiration between them.
Liverpool’s Position
Liverpool remains hopeful about securing Alexander-Arnold’s future with a new contract.
Fans had been excited by covers over seats with his shirt number at Anfield, but it turned out to be a precautionary measure due to roof work, not a contract announcement. Liverpool’s management, including sporting director Richard Hughes, has been tight-lipped about contract negotiations, focusing instead on team commitment and improvement.
Fan Reactions
Fans have been vocal on social media about the situation, with some expressing disbelief at the thought of Alexander-Arnold leaving Liverpool for Madrid, while others are intrigued by the potential move.
The speculation continues as both players enjoy their time together and await the next developments in their careers.
