After rejecting low offers in January, the Reds face tough truths as their prized full-back eyes a fresh challenge at the Bernabéu
Real Madrid’s pursuit of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold has taken an unexpected turn. Despite two lowball offers—one at €15 million and another at €16 million—being firmly rejected by Liverpool, reports now indicate that a summer free-agent deal is “90% done.” The move would send the 26-year-old full-back on a new adventure at the Santiago Bernabéu, where he dreams of embracing fresh challenges and playing alongside close friend Jude Bellingham.
According to sources, Alexander-Arnold is fully aware of the proposed long-term contract with Real Madrid, with every detail in place except for his signature. The deal is reportedly structured to allow Real Madrid to trigger his €75 million release clause gradually—a move made even more urgent by Liverpool’s looming risk of losing him for free, as his contract expires in just 146 days.
Liverpool’s management—led by manager Arne Slot, sporting director Richard Hughes, and CEO of football Michael Edwards—stood united in rejecting Real Madrid’s January approaches. Their decision was clear: no low offers would be entertained, even as the injury crisis at City fueled Madrid’s urgent interest.
Real Madrid’s relentless pursuit is underscored by a strong belief that Alexander-Arnold, after lifting the Premier League title at a packed Anfield, is ready for a new chapter in his career. Reports suggest that when he says yes, it means a definitive move to Madrid. Despite a slight caveat of a potential last-minute change of heart, experts do not expect that scenario to materialize.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the drama surrounding one of Liverpool’s brightest talents intensifies. With both clubs delivering stark messages, fans and pundits alike are left wondering whether this will mark the start of a new era for Alexander-Arnold—or if he will remain at Anfield, defying the odds yet again.
