Trent Alexander-Arnold’s anticipated move from Liverpool to Real Madrid has gained momentum, with reports suggesting the right-back has agreed to join the Spanish giants once his contract with Liverpool expires.
Despite the move being on a free transfer, Real Madrid may still pay a fee to the Reds to bring him in before the contract’s official expiration on June 30.
Speculation regarding Alexander-Arnold’s future has circulated throughout the season, especially as Liverpool stars Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah also face contract uncertainties.
Marca reports that Alexander-Arnold had been contemplating a move to Madrid as early as late 2023, before even the announcement of Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Anfield in 2024.
The 26-year-old’s decision appears to be long-standing, and with Klopp’s departure, it seems to have only solidified his plans to take on a new challenge at the Santiago Bernabeu.
