Report: Liverpool make final effort to keep Alexander-Arnold amid Real Madrid move | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold is moving forward at full speed, with the English full-back increasingly close to making a switch to the Spanish giants next summer.

At 26, the Englishman is entering his prime, and his performances over the past few seasons have firmly caught the attention of Madrid’s sporting directors, who are eager to strengthen their right flank with a creative, attacking profile.

However, as it turns out, Liverpool are not willing to give up on their star just yet.

Despite the growing belief that the player is set to join Real Madrid, Fichajes reports that the Reds are working tirelessly to present one final contract renewal offer in the hopes of convincing the full-back to extend his stay at Anfield.

Interestingly, this last-ditch effort seems unlikely to change the trajectory of Alexander-Arnold’s career.

While Alexander-Arnold has remained a crucial part of Liverpool’s plans, talks for a contract extension have stagnated, and the player’s future has been shrouded in doubt.

It is this uncertainty that has allowed Real Madrid to seize the opportunity to secure one of the most coveted talents in world football on a free transfer, bypassing the need for a hefty transfer fee.

A great win for Real Madrid

From Real Madrid’s perspective, this move would not only reinforce the team’s depth in the right-back position but also bring in a player with invaluable experience on the biggest stages.

His attacking potential and technical prowess fit perfectly into Madrid’s tactical setup, regardless of who the manager would be for the next season.

On the other hand, Liverpool are desperate to keep one of their most iconic players in recent history, but despite their best efforts, there is a growing sense that Alexander-Arnold’s mind is made up.

His entourage suggests that the renewal offer, although significant, will come too late to change his decision, as the allure of joining one of the most successful clubs in European history appears too strong to resist.
