Real Madrid are reportedly on the verge of carrying out one of the most notable operations of the winter transfer window by attempting to recruit Trent Alexander-Arnold from January 2025. Initially planned for next summer, this transfer could be brought forward due to urgent needs of the Merengues and the uncertainties around the contractual situation of the English international.
Real Madrid seeks immediate reinforcement
While Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract at Liverpool expires next June, Real Madrid have been working on this issue for several months. Initially, the Spanish club hoped to obtain him for free this summer, but Dani Carvajal’s long-term injury forces Madrid leaders to consider an early transfer this winter. According to Marcanegotiations are reportedly underway to allow Alexander-Arnold to join Madrid in January.
Jude Bellingham, Alexander-Arnold’s national teammate, would play a key role in the discussions by encouraging his compatriot to join the Spanish capital.
Liverpool under sporting pressure
While Alexander-Arnold’s early departure represents a golden opportunity for Real Madrid, it would be a major blow for Liverpool. In the midst of the fight for the Premier League title and involved in the Champions League, losing a key player like Alexander-Arnold (1 goal and 5 assists in 23 games this season) midway through would be a real handicap for the Reds, led by Arne Slot.
For their part, Liverpool have offered a contract extension to the 26-year-old right back. However, according to The AthleticAlexander-Arnold gave no clue about his decision, simply stating in September: “I have signed several extensions and none have been negotiated in public. This one won’t be either. »
A pre-contract from January?
Real Madrid, confident, hope to conclude a pre-contract with Alexander-Arnold from January 1, offering him a minimum four-year contract with a significant signing bonus. If the discussions are successful, this operation could become one of the most notable transfers of the winter.
