Liverpool fans left in shock this evening after hearing the heartbreaking news about Trent Alexander-Arnold. 💔 Things go from bad to worse! 😭
Liverpool has yet to open discussions with Trent Alexander-Arnold about extending his contract, as Fabrizio Romano revealed on a recent episode of CaughtOffside’s The Debrief Podcast.
Romano also mentioned that Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on Alexander-Arnold’s situation at Anfield, indicating their interest in the talented English right-back.
With Alexander-Arnold’s current contract expiring in 2025, this upcoming transfer window could be an opportune time to consider selling him if he doesn’t show interest in a contract extension.
However, given Alexander-Arnold’s importance to Liverpool and his strong connections to the city, it’s likely that contract talks will commence once things settle within the club.
If negotiations don’t progress, Real Madrid is ready to make a move for Alexander-Arnold, according to Romano.
Speaking about the potential transfer, Romano noted, “Alexander-Arnold is crucial for Liverpool, and there’s a special bond between him, the city, and the club. While I believe Liverpool will try to keep him, Real Madrid’s keen interest in him shouldn’t be underestimated.”
He added, “They are closely monitoring the situation, with no direct talks happening between Liverpool and Alexander-Arnold’s camp yet. Real Madrid is watching closely, waiting for developments.”
While signing Alexander-Arnold would be a major achievement for Real Madrid, it’s still early days. Liverpool’s primary focus is currently on appointing their next manager, but once that’s sorted, they’re likely to address contract talks for several players, including Alexander-Arnold.
