Transfer: Latest Update On Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Possible Move To Real Madrid From Liverpool
Liverpool has reportedly refrained from valuing Trent Alexander-Arnold as interest in the player has escalated this summer.
Real Madrid’s interest is significant as they are evaluating the 25-year-old English footballer to fill a crucial position in their team potentially, as they seek to compete for another European title, following their victory in the Champions League the previous season.
Sportxparte reports that with the future of Real Madrid’s right-back position uncertain due to Dani Carvajal’s contract ending in 2024, the club’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, is on the lookout for a long-term successor.
Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold’s contract with Liverpool is set to conclude in 2025, adding to the intrigue surrounding his potential transfer.
This week, reports indicate that Real Madrid has expressed ‘clear’ interest in Alexander-Arnold, with discussions between the two parties reportedly underway.
It has also been suggested that Alexander-Arnold is open to the possibility of a transfer.
Real Madrid’s interest in Alexander-Arnold comes with a potential financial impact. Should the player decide not to extend his contract with Liverpool, the club could offer a transfer fee of up to £67 million (€80 million), a significant figure that could reshape the club’s financial landscape.
Liverpool, Man United Expected To Open Talk On Adrien Rabiot
In a separate development, Adrien Rabiot is expected to negotiate with Liverpool and other clubs after his departure from Juventus this week.
The 29-year-old player has become a free agent following the conclusion of his contract at the Allianz Stadium at the start of the month.
His departure could significantly impact Juventus’s midfield, as they would need to find a suitable replacement for his role.
Rabiot’s status as a free agent has sparked fierce competition among European clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United. As he weighs his options, the intensity of the negotiations is palpable, with all interested parties eager to secure his signature.
Additionally, Newcastle United is initiating discussions with Rabiot, while AC Milan and Napoli are attempting to convince him to remain in Italy.
It is believed that Rabiot is seeking a contract worth £7.5 million annually, a sum that may exceed the financial capabilities of clubs in Serie A, which generally have lower budgets compared to clubs in other European leagues.
Juventus have reportedly presented Rabiot with a contract offer of £5.8 million in their final offer.
This is not the first instance of Rabiot being linked with a move to the Premier League, and it is known that Manchester United has a long-standing interest in the midfielder.
