Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season when his contract expires.
The 26-year-old defender has not signed a new deal with Liverpool yet, and he is expected to move on as a free agent. According to a report from the Sun, Real Madrid are keen on securing his signature and they would be willing to pay a fee for him, even though he will be a free agent in the summer.
Real Madrid want to sign him before the club World Cup and they would be willing to pay a reasonable amount of money for him. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to finalise his departure in that time.
Alexander-Arnold would improve Real Madrid
Alexander-Arnold has been a key player for Liverpool over the years and he has established himself as the best right back in football. Apart from his defensive qualities, he is world-class going forward, and he is arguably one of the best passers in the world. He could add a new dimension to the Real Madrid side and he could be the ideal long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can get the deal across the line.
They are looking to rebuild their squad and they have brought in several talented young players in recent years. Signing a quality right back will be a top priority for them at the end of the season. The England international seems like the ideal fit for them. He has proven himself in the Premier League with Liverpool and he has won several major trophies with them. He might feel that this is the right time for him to try out a new challenge.
The defender is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to compete at the highest level. Real Madrid are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world and the opportunity to join them can be hard to turn down for any player.
