Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool have approached Real Madrid... However, Liverpool insist Trent Alexander-Arnold is not for sale.
Real Madrid would like to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. As far as Los Blancos are concerned, he has been a long-term transfer target but the injury to Dani Carvajal has accelerated their desire to sign him.
Ideally, Real Madrid would have preferred to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in the January transfer window. This, as previously stated, was influenced by the injury to Dani Carvajal, which could see Real Madrid without their preferred right-back for the remainder of the season.
Earlier today, we suggested that Real Madrid would be happy to wait until the summer, if Liverpool do not wish to negotiate a January sale. This might have to be the case.
Fabrizio Romano drops huge Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid transfer update
According to a bombshell update by Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have informed Real Madrid that Trent Alexander-Arnold is not for sale at any price in the January transfer window. Nevertheless, Real Madrid will continue to work on convincing Trent to sign as a free agent in July.
In his own words, Romano said: Real Madrid insist to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold as top target for 2025, as revealed in March — he’s the player they want. Liverpool have clearly told Real Madrid that Trent Alexander-Arnold is NOT for sale in January. Real Madrid keep working on free agent deal for July."
This week, it was revealed within the Spanish media that Trent Alexander-Arnold has a foot in the door of Real Madrid. What this means is that the player has made up his mind on playing for Real Madrid.
This is likely the reason why Trent is yet to extend his deal at Liverpool, which expires at the end of the season. Of course, waiting until then is less than ideal for Real Madrid considering their injury crisis but signing one of the best full-backs in the world for free should not be huffed and puffed at.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best full-backs in the world. In terms of sheer creative ability, there aren't many better than Trent. It is for this reason why he remains a premium option in the transfer window.
