There is a scheduled Real Madrid transfer meeting in January, which might determine the future of Liverpool superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Real Madrid have been involved in the transfer tug-of-war for Trent Alexander-Arnold. They are playing a mental battle with Liverpool about the future of their academy star.
As it stands, Trent Alexander-Arnold is due to run out of contract at Anfield Stadium at the end of this season. While there are rumours that he could extend his stay in Liverpool, they remain merely that: rumours.
Over the last few years, a large part of the Real Madrid transfer philosophy has revolved around being frugal and signing players on free deals, where possible. Therefore, it is no surprise that Los Blancos have been linked to the pre-contract agreement of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool braced for decisive Real Madrid transfer meeting in January
According to a report from Caught Offside, Liverpool have improved their contract offer to Trent Alexander-Arnold and they hope he will commit his future to them. However, Real Madrid remain confident they can prize him away from the current Premier League leaders.
Psychologically, Real Madrid will learn a lot about Trent Alexander-Arnold's stance by whether or not he signs the improved contract offer from Liverpool before the end of this month. If he doesn't, this surely means he is open to joining Real Madrid.
It is said within the report that there is an important Real Madrid transfer meeting scheduled for January. It is at this point where Real Madrid will be able to convince Trent Alexander-Arnold to commit his future either way.
The report states that it is unclear whether Trent will commit his future to Liverpool, despite the four-year contract offer worth around €20m per year. It is likely, then, that the meeting between Real Madrid and Trent Alexander-Arnold's camp will be decisive in his future. Finally, the transfer saga might come to an end... Hopefully a happy ending for Real Madrid.
