Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid is 'concrete' as La Liga giants make contact over signing Liverpool star

Posted Wednesday, July 17, 2024 by Goal.com

Real Madrid's interest in Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly 'getting concrete' amid uncertainty over his Anfield future.

WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, Los Blancos' interest in the 25-year-old is escalating and the full-back himself is open to a move. This comes at a time when the England international is now in the final year of his Liverpool contract.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Alexander-Arnold is fast approaching Liverpool legend status but this season could be his last unless he signs a new deal, with his current terms expiring in 2025. The Reds academy product has been a key player over the years but with manager Jurgen Klopp stepping down last season, perhaps the defender wants a change as well.

DID YOU KNOW?
Alexander-Arnold, who helped guide England to the final of Euro 2024 this month, has made 310 appearances for Liverpool - scoring 19 goals along the way. The defender made his debut in the 2016/17 campaign and many Reds fans will hope he adds to his appearance tally this term.

WHAT NEXT?
Following England's final defeat to Spain in the Euros, Alexander-Arnold will head off on his holidays before returning for Liverpool's pre-season campaign in the coming weeks. It remains to be seen if he will stay at the club for the start of Arne Slot's Liverpool era.
