Real Madrid are optimistic about securing the services of Liverpool defensive mainstay Trent Alexander-Arnold.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Real Madrid are increasingly confident that they will able to lure Liverpool academy graduate Trent Alexander-Arnold to the Santiago Bernabéu. While the Merseyside club have been trying their best to tie him down to a new deal, Madrid are optimistic about getting this deal over the line.
Alexander-Arnold got promoted to Liverpool’s first team back in 2016. He has only gone from strength to strength over the years. The English full-back has played a massive part in all the successes they have had in recent years.
While he remains a key figure in Arne Slot’s team, his long-term future is uncertain with his contract running out at the end of the season. The Reds are trying everything in their power to convince him to extend his stay at the club.
Liverpool and Real Madrid battle for Alexander-Arnold
They consider the 26-year-old a key part of their plans moving ahead and have already submitted a revised contract offer after their initial proposal was turned down. While the Reds have put forward a massive contract offer, Real Madrid are also looking to secure his services as a free agent.
Los Blancos are looking for a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal and they consider the English international to be the perfect fit for their project. They are looking to hold talks with Alexander-Arnold quite early in January and have already tabled a four-year contract offer with an option of another year just like the Merseyside club.
While both Liverpool and Real Madrid are pushing hard to secure his services, Los Blancos are confident that they can convince him about a move to the Spanish capital. The Reds’ academy graduate will surely take his time before making a final decision on his future but the team in white believe the final call will be in their favour having put in a lot of hard work over the last six months.
