Manchester City are reportedly in talks with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s camp over a potential summer move, which will be a shocker to Liverpool and their fans.
According toCaught Offside, Manchester City are considering a shock move for 26-year-old Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold next summer. Pep Guardiola’s side have reportedly opened talks with the right-back’s camp over a free transfer next summer, which will come as a blow to Liverpool and their fans.
For a long time, there has been speculation surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future as a Liverpool player, with the club yet to make any headway in contract talks. The 26-year-old’s current deal expires next summer, as there are discussions taking place in the background over a potential extension.
Liverpool fans will hope the ball starts rolling faster in the club’s attempts to keep him, but so far, the door is left ajar for rivals to make their presence felt. Real Madrid are the front runners so far in the chase, as they have alreadyabandoned the idea of a January transfer and are waiting to get him on a free in the summer.
Real Madrid prefer Alexander-Arnold over other targets, as Florentino Perez is attracted to the idea of signing another top-rated star on a free transfer. The road is not that easy for the Spanish giants as fellow rivals Barcelona are also angling for a move owing to the attractive proposition the 26-year-old Liverpool star presents with this market opportunity.
In what may come as a surprise and a shock in equal measure, Manchester City has entered the race for Alexander-Arnold andhave reportedly opened talks with his representatives over a summer move. This is not something that Liverpool would like to see materialise, as Pep Guardiola’s side could view him as a long term replacement forKyle Walker, whom they are ready to sell.
Will Alexander-Arnold join Manchester City?
Such a move will be a shocker for the Premier League and certainly make Manchester City a stronger unit than Liverpool next season. The idea is bright, and the club are seemingly taking their chances by presenting favourable terms in the background for Alexander-Arnold to consider. However, such a switch will be a black mark on the player and his allegiance to Liverpool.
Hence, the likelihood of this move happening are slim to none, although there’s nothing that can be ruled out in football. For now, Real Madrid seems like the favourites to land the 26-year-old Liverpool star, as a move to the Bernabeu seems more likely than a switch to the Etihad, although Pep Guardiola will love the idea.
