Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid ‘ CONFIRMED’ as Liverpool Defender Agrees to Leave Arne Slot’s Side

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly come to a preliminary agreement with Real Madrid to join them in the summer on a free transfer. The English full-back is poised to say goodbye to his boyhood club Liverpool in the summer as he will finalize a free transfer to Real Madrid.

According to Sky Sports in Switzerland, Alexander-Arnold’s representatives, including his brother, have had meetings with the La Liga club and have reached an understanding for the full-back to sign a five-year contract at Santiago Bernabeu. Sky Sports asserts that the arrangement is basically ‘confirmed,’ with the defender expected to earn a salary of €15 million (£13m/$16m) annually in Madrid – a considerable increase from his current earnings at Liverpool. Alexander-Arnold will also receive appealing performance bonuses and a signing fee.

Trent Alexander-Arnold Transfer Update

The Reds have been attempting to persuade their star full-back to agree to a new contract throughout the 2024-25 season; however, the player has been resolute about leaving his comfort zone in his homeland to embrace a new challenge in his career. Alexander-Arnold now seems likely to let his current contract expire and move to Madrid this summer.

At present, the 26-year-old will concentrate on winning his second Premier League title with Arne Slot’s Liverpool team, who are presently 12 points ahead at the top, well clear of second-placed Arsenal. They will next compete against arch-rivals Everton on April 2 at Anfield.

Right back is a position that Real Madrid urgently needs. Dani Carvajal has been a loyal servant to the club, but considering his age and his recovery from a serious injury, it indicates that they will require someone else to step in. For Liverpool, it is disheartening that a local hero wishes to leave the club after what has been a fantastic season. However, for Real, it is another star added to the latest generation of Galacticos.
