Reports suggest that Liverpool are looking to extend Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract amid ongoing interest from Real Madrid in the talented right-back.
The young English star has played a crucial role for Liverpool since moving up from their academy. With his contract set to expire soon, there’s growing talk about his next move, especially with Real Madrid showing interest.
Fabrizio Romano reports that the Champions League club are closely monitoring Alexander-Arnold’s situation at Liverpool, indicating serious interest.
Fabrizio Romano Update on Real Madrid Interest
Romano’s recent column in CaughtOffside sheds light on Real Madrid’s interest in Alexander-Arnold, highlighting the Spanish club’s keen observation of the Liverpool standout.
He said, “I’m afraid I have no update in this moment – as I said weeks ago, Real Madrid are following the situation but nothing else in terms of talks or contact so far.”
Alexander-Arnold has been an essential part of their recent successes, notably aiding in their Premier League victory in 2020 and their Champions League conquest in 2019.
His knack for delivering precise crosses and generating opportunities from the right-back slot sets him apart as a remarkable talent.
Given Real Madrid’s penchant for recruiting top-tier athletes, particularly those with distinct abilities, it comes as little shock that they have shown interest in acquiring Alexander-Arnold.
Nonetheless, Liverpool recognise the potential consequences of losing such a pivotal player and is actively seeking to prolong his tenure with the club through a contract renewal.
Liverpool Looking to Extend Trent’s Contract
Liverpool are transitioning into a new era, emphasising the importance of retaining key players like Alexander-Arnold.
Trent’s current contract, valued at £192,000 per week, is set to expire in 2025. However, according to David Ornstein, discussions for contract renewals, including Trent’s, are on the agenda with FSG, alongside Salah and van Dijk.
Liverpool are determined to retain Trent and will exert every effort to do so. As of now, there are no indications that he intends to depart from Anfield in the near future.
As an ambitious player entering his prime, it is imperative for Liverpool to sustain their competitiveness for major titles to ensure Trent’s long-term commitment.
