Trent Alexander-Arnold Liverpool Deal “Almost Complete” as Federico Chiesa Attracts Interest from Serie A Club
Liverpool may look to strengthen their squad during the January transfer window as they push to secure the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s debut season. However, uncertainty remains over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s long-term future at the club.
The Reds are currently enjoying an impressive run in the Premier League.
Their dominant performance against West Ham on Sunday showcased Mohamed Salah, whose contract situation remains unresolved, shining brightly at the London Stadium.
The convincing victory propelled Liverpool eight points clear at the top of the table, with the added advantage of a game in hand.
Despite their strong position and growing status as favourites to lift the trophy in May, Liverpool might still require reinforcements to ensure they cross the finish line successfully. With the January transfer window set to open shortly, transfer activity could become a priority for the club.
Additionally, Liverpool face significant decisions regarding key members of their squad. Newsnow Liverpool examines the latest transfer rumours below.
Alexander-Arnold Deal “Almost Complete”
Trent Alexander-Arnold appears set to wear the white jersey of Real Madrid next season, according to reports emerging from Spain. The La Liga giants have identified him as a key target as he enters the final six months of his current contract.
Real Madrid had initially shown interest in securing Alexander-Arnold’s services during the January transfer window, particularly after Dani Carvajal suffered a long-term injury. However, it now seems the terms of the deal have already been finalised.
Spanish outlet AS reports that Alexander-Arnold’s transfer to the Bernabeu is “almost complete”.
The Liverpool defender is expected to sign a contract to join Real Madrid once his current deal expires, although an official announcement will reportedly be postponed out of respect for his current club.
Napoli Makes Federico Chiesa Contract
Federico Chiesa’s time at Liverpool hasn’t gone as planned so far, and it seems an exit route may already be on the horizon.
According to CalcioMercato, Napoli have shown interest in signing the Italian winger, with initial discussions about a potential move already underway.
Reports suggest that Napoli’s director, Giovanni Manna, has contacted Chiesa’s agent, Fali Ramadani, to explore the possibility of a deal. Liverpool are reportedly open to the idea of loaning Chiesa out to help him regain his fitness.
Chiesa only arrived at Anfield from Juventus during the summer transfer window. However, injuries have limited him to just four appearances in what has been a frustrating campaign so far.
