Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool’s star right-back, has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Despite being Premier League leaders, Liverpool have struggled to secure a contract extension for the England international, sparking growing uncertainty around his future. Fans have voiced frustration over his silence, with increasing signs pointing to his desire to join the Spanish giants.
According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are making significant progress toward signing Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer, having offered him a five-year deal.
With his current contract set to expire in June, Liverpool are making a last-ditch effort to keep him, though talks have hit a standstill and he has yet to confirm his intentions publicly.
However, the potential exit of Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti—who played a key role in persuading the defender—has reportedly led Alexander-Arnold to pause and reconsider his options.
Liverpool’s impressive form under new manager Arne Slot, including a recent win that puts them on the brink of the title, could also sway his decision to stay.
Still, Real Madrid remain confident in their pursuit, seeing Alexander-Arnold as a valuable addition who would bring experience, depth, and quality to their lineup—especially alongside his close friend Jude Bellingham.
After months of speculation, it seems the 25-year-old may be ready to move on and embrace a new chapter. In response, Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina as a potential replacement.
