Alexander-Arnold and His Outrageous Price: Unattainable for Barça and Madrid?

The saga of Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to heat up. The right-back's contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season, and as of today, there have been no significant advances in negotiations for his renewal, so it seems likely that the player will leave the Anfield Road dressing rooms in July 2025.

In this context, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona emerge as two major candidates to acquire the services of the 'scouser' for free, with the whites leading the race due to their urgency to strengthen the right side of a defense severely weakened by injuries this season.

The 'crazy' salary that Alexander-Arnold demands

However, his operation is far from simple. Liverpool will do everything possible to retain one of their top figures and want to extend his contract as soon as possible, but 'TAA' will not make it easy. In fact, 'The Sun' has reported that the player would demand a figure close to 22 million euros per season to sign his new commitment.

An extremely high amount that seriously threatens his continuity in Merseyside and represents a real headache for culés and merengues, who would not be willing to pay such high wages as it could disrupt their salary structure. Uncertainty continues to surround Alexander-Arnold.
