Real Madrid are reportedly considering an offer to entice Liverpool into selling Trent Alexander-Arnold earlier than expected.
Instead of waiting for the 26-year-old’s contract to expire next summer, the Champions League holders might attempt to secure his transfer in January due to Dani Carvajal’s knee injury.
Although journalist James Pearce has downplayed these rumors, Spanish media continue to suggest that Real Madrid are preparing a player-plus-cash deal.
One report claims Madrid will offer around €25m (£20.9m) plus midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who joined from Monaco in 2022 for €100m (£85m). However, Madrid have ruled out including Rodrygo in the deal.
Liverpool are unlikely to accept such an offer, as Alexander-Arnold is considered a crucial player for the team.
Despite their previous interest in Tchouameni, Liverpool will likely demand much more than just €25m and the French midfielder for their vice-captain.
While rumors continue to circulate during the international break, Liverpool fans remain hopeful that Alexander-Arnold will sign a contract extension, ending uncertainty about his future.
