Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly concerned about a possible summer season switch to Actual Madrid when his present contract expires.
Alexander-Arnold is within the closing season of his Liverpool deal and his future is turning into more and more unsure as the potential of negotiating a pre-contract with an abroad membership nears.
An settlement over a brand new contract to stay at Liverpool hasn’t been forthcoming and Madrid’s need for a brand new right-back, along with their total status and the success of shut pal Jude Bellingham since shifting to the Spanish capital, has solely intensified hypothesis surrounding his transfer.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher additionally just lately expressed concern over Alexander-Arnold’s potential transfer to Actual Madrid due to the participant’s open need to win the Ballon d’Or.
Now, Spanish publication AS writes that Alexander-Arnold and his agent are each conscious of Madrid’s curiosity and take into account the prospect of such a transfer interesting, though no closing choice with regard to shifting on from Liverpool has but been made.
The intimation is that the European champions even have an association whereby they are going to be knowledgeable if others begin to convey competitors.
It’s not Madrid’s intention to recruit anybody through the upcoming January switch window, with the aim to safe Alexander-Arnold’s signature with out a switch payment in time for subsequent season.
But when the England worldwide decides to signal recent phrases with Liverpool, Madrid are believed to have different targets. Tottenham Hotspur’s Pedro Porro is one and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is one other.
However the substantial draw back to going after both of these is that Porro would doubtless value at the least €45m (£37.8m) and Frimpong much more at €50m (£42m).
Lengthy-serving right-back Dani Carvajal will not play once more this season and can doubtless miss the beginning of 2025/26 as nicely. His contract was renewed for an additional yr as quickly as he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament final month, however the six-time Champions League winner can be virtually 34 by the point he recovers. Present stand-in Lucas Vazquez, who is not even a pure right-back, is 33.
