Next Blue? Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly made a decision

The future of Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the hot topics in the transfer market. The right-back of Liverpool has a contract that expires at the end of the season, and several teams, including FC Barcelona, were competing for his signing as a free agent, although the current leader of the Premier League insisted on extending his contract with the institution beyond 2025.

However, the newspaper 'Marca' has reported that the defender has already communicated to the 'reds' his desire to play at the Santiago Bernabéu starting next season. The player has no intention of renewing with the team managed by Arne Slot to wear the white jersey for the coming years and play alongside one of his great friends Jude Bellingham.

Could Alexander-Arnold arrive in Madrid in January?

In light of this situation, rumors about the possible sale of Alexander-Arnold to Madrid in the winter market have surged. If the Merseyside team agrees to negotiate for the Englishman in January, the White House could initiate discussions given their defensive needs.

Despite this, this scenario seems distant, as Carlo Ancelotti's side would prefer to wait 6 months to acquire him at no cost. Barça also participated in the bidding, but the presence of a Jules Koundé who has excelled on the right side of the defense and their financial 'fair play' issues would have 'cooled' their interest in Trent, whose future seems to be painted in white.
