The signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold by Real Madrid is just around the corner, find out why!
Everything seems to indicate that the union between Real Madrid and the current right-back of Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold, is close to becoming an imminent reality. The versatile 26-year-old player, whose contract with the 'Reds' ends on June 30, will not renew his link with the English team, and his new destination will be the Chamartín club.
Recently, the renowned transfer specialist journalist, Fabrizio Romano, has stated that Real Madrid has already contacted Trent Alexander-Arnold and his circle, sending him a contractual proposal to secure the services of the international with the 'Three Lions'. This operation is underway, with the proposal under study and all parties seeming to be on track to reach an agreement soon.
Alexander-Arnold would be among the highest-paid players at Real Madrid
On the other hand, journalist Sacha Tavolieri from 'Sky Sports' has emphasized that Trent Alexander-Arnold would join Real Madrid under a five-season contract, with a total gross salary of €15 million per season, including attractive performance bonuses and a signing bonus. With these terms, 'TAA' would position himself as one of the best-paid players in the White Team, alongside players like Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham.
It is clear that the addition of Alexander-Arnold, who in the past has shown a clear preference for Barcelona, will strengthen a flank of Real Madrid that has shown clear weaknesses following the absence of Dani Carvajal. The Englishman, known for his offensive and lethal play when joining the attack, will bring technique and sublime finishing. However, his defensive performance has been questioned at times, especially when facing very skilled full-backs in one-on-one situations.
Liverpool must seek other alternatives to reinforce their right-back position
This transfer represents a tough loss for Liverpool, who apparently had tried to extend Trent Alexander-Arnold's stay at the English team without success. Despite his high market value (€75 million, according to Transfermarkt), the Merseyside club will lose 'TAA' for free at the end of his contract. Faced with this loss, it is rumored that the Reds are exploring other options, such as the possible arrival of Jeremie Frimpong to strengthen the right-back position.
