Liverpool Football Club confirms that right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially communicated his desire to join Real Madrid at the end of the current season. This significant decision comes as Alexander-Arnold approaches the final six months of his contract, which expires in June 2025.
In discussions with club officials, Alexander-Arnold expressed that the opportunity to play for Los Blancos is a pivotal factor in his career aspirations. Despite Liverpool’s efforts to negotiate a new contract, it has become clear that the allure of a transfer to Madrid has proven irresistible for the 26-year-old defender, who has been a key player for the Reds since his debut.
Manager Arne Slot acknowledged the impact of this news on the club, stating, “While we respect Trent’s decision, it presents a challenge as we look to maintain our competitive edge. We will now evaluate our options moving forward.”
Real Madrid has shown strong interest in securing Alexander-Arnold’s services, viewing him as a vital addition to their squad. The club is prepared to wait until the summer transfer window to finalize the deal, allowing Liverpool to focus on their ongoing Premier League campaign.
