Spanish giants believe they can secure Liverpool star amid unresolved contract talks.
Real Madrid are increasingly optimistic about their chances of signing Trent Alexander-Arnold next summer, potentially on a free transfer, as the Liverpool right-back’s contract situation remains unresolved.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, is in the final year of his contract at Anfield, and while speculation about his future has swirled, the England international has refrained from commenting publicly on the matter.
The 15-time European champions have been closely monitoring his situation, and their confidence appears to be growing. Spanish outlet Marca, known for its close ties to Real Madrid, prominently featured the player on their front page with the headline “Alexander-Arnold: Quiere Venir Al Madrid” (“Wants to Join Madrid”).
Despite Real Madrid’s optimism, Liverpool maintain hope of securing their vice-captain to a new deal. Sources close to the club insist no agreement has been reached with any other team, and Alexander-Arnold’s only direct talks about his future have been with Liverpool.
Madrid, however, see an opportunity in Liverpool’s prolonged negotiations. If Alexander-Arnold chooses not to renew his deal, Real Madrid could land the £80 million-rated defender without paying a transfer fee. Selling him in the January transfer window remains an unlikely scenario, as Liverpool are determined to keep him through the season.
Alexander-Arnold’s connection to Madrid has been bolstered by his friendship with Jude Bellingham, who recently described the allure of the Spanish giants, saying, “When Real come knocking, it shakes the whole house.” His relationship with Conor Gallagher, currently thriving at Atlético Madrid, adds another layer of familiarity with life in the Spanish capital.
The Liverpool-born star, who joined the club’s academy at the age of six, has become a cornerstone of the Reds, making 332 appearances and winning every major trophy, including the Premier League and Champions League.
Liverpool, now grappling with multiple high-profile contract dilemmas—including those of captain Virgil van Dijk and star forward Mohamed Salah—are under significant pressure to resolve the futures of their key players.
While Alexander-Arnold remains focused on Liverpool’s current campaign, the noises from Spain suggest that Real Madrid are growing increasingly confident in their ability to tempt him with a new challenge under manager Carlo Ancelotti.
For Liverpool, the next few months will be critical as they attempt to hold onto one of their most iconic homegrown talents.
