Why Trent Alexander-Arnold is making a January move to Real Madrid ‘impossible’ despite turning down Liverpool offers

Real Madrid

<p>Liverpool have been sweating over the contract renewals of a number of stars this season including Alexander-Arnold, whose deal expires in the summer of 2025. The 26-year-old has been given several offers by the Reds since the start of the season as they have been keen to not lose their homegrown superstar on a free transfer next summer, however, Alexander-Arnold has rejected all the approaches so far as he looks to exit Anfield. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Alexander-Arnold has been heavily linked with joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2025 upon the expiry of his current contract as he looks to join his good friend and England teammate Jude Bellingham at Santiago Bernabeu. As such, Liverpool have reportedly given up hope of being able to tie the 26-year-old down to a new contract and are instead considering selling the England international to Los Blancos in the January transfer so as to at least be able to make some sort of profit from his sale. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>As per <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/liga-primera/davies-alexander-arnold-comprometen-estrategia-20241113213549-nt.html" target="_blank">Spanish publication Relevo</a>, Real Madrid are also open to the idea of signing Alexander-Arnold in January after losing their captain and current right-back Dani Carvajal for the season due to an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. However, the right-back is reportedly making the move 'impossible' as he wants to 'leave in the best possible way, with titles and not in the middle of the season'.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Liverpool right-back is now expected to continue at Anfield until the end of the season as he hopes to win the Premier League and other titles under Arne Slot before making the move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2025. </p>
