<p>Per <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2024/12/31/primer-contacto-real-madrid-liverpool-alexander-arnold.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a>, Los Blancos are ready to pay a transfer fee to secure Alexander-Arnold's signature in the January transfer window. However, they have set a spending limit for the English full-back. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cover-themselves-jamie-carragher-swipe-trent-alexander-arnold-agents-real-madrid-approach-rejected-liverpool/blte7d029e19479c79f" target="_blank">Alexander-Arnold has made it clear that he will exit Anfield</a> in 2025 after he rejected yet another contract renewal offer from the Reds.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Spanish champions have been plagued with multiple injury woes in the 2024-25 campaign, with their backline suffering the most. As a result, they are looking to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/moves-real-madrid-should-make-2025-january-transfer-window/blt01f4439c43ad85c6" target="_blank">add a new defender in the January window</a>. The club are reportedly willing to pay up to €25 million (£20m/$26m) for Alexander-Arnold this month. However, if Liverpool do not agree to the sale, Real will wait until the summer to sign the England international on a free transfer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>According to journalist <a href="https://x.com/_pauljoyce/status/1874138458006163466" target="_blank"><em>Paul Joyce of The Times</em></a>, Real have already launched their first approach to buy Alexander-Arnold in the winter window, but that was emphatically <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-reject-real-madrid-approach-trent-alexander-arnold-pre-contract-january/bltd7cf7c48d617ec31#cs4b52c0040b290a06" target="_blank">rejected by the Premier League leaders</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Liverpool will be back in action this Sunday as they host rivals Manchester United in a crucial Premier League encounter, with Alexander-Arnold likely to retain his place in Arne Slot's starting XI despite the ongoing speculation over his future.</p>
