Real Madrid remain confident of securing a free transfer deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool in 2025.
Los Blancos are reportedly working on an agreement with the England international as part of a potential switch.
Alexander-Arnold is out of contract at Anfield at the end of the 2024/25 season but the Premier League giants have no interest in a possible January exit.
The latest update indicates Liverpool have resigned themselves to losing the defender at the end of the campaign as Real Madrid close in.
However, the 25-year-old may not be presented with a straightforward choice between Madrid and Merseyside, with other clubs expressing an interest.
As per the latest from Talksport, Real Madrid’s arch rivals Barcelona are considering a bold move, alongside Bundesliga powerhouses Bayern Munich.
Barcelona’s delicate financial situation is less of a concern, due to the lack of a transfer fee, and more exits expected in Catalonia in the coming months.
Real Madrid will hope to have a deal formalised as quickly as possible, to prevent Liverpool forcing a change of heart, or a rival swooping in.
I may be proven wrong on this but it is my belief that Trent Alexander Arnold is not a Real Madrid level player based on his current level of play.
