Trent Alexander-Arnold is in the final year of his Liverpool contract and speculation is growing as to where his long-term future lies.
According to the bookmakers, Real Madrid are the favourites to sign the full-back this summer with a best price of 3/1 for him to be at the Bernabeu when the transfer window closes.
Alexander-Arnold holds the cards
While some critics have questioned Alexander-Arnold’s defensive attributes, there is no better attacking right-back in world football and that would suit Real Madrid.
There is also uncertainty about the 25-year-old’s future at Anfield for the first time in his career with Arne Slot having replaced Jurgen Klopp.
No one knows how Liverpool will line up next term and as team-mates Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah also enter the final year of their deals, Alexander-Arnold may be tempted by a new challenge.
He is widely reported to be close to Jude Bellingham in the England squad and the midfielder will not have to give Alexander-Arnold much of a hard sell on Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants are known to be savvy in the transfer market and wait for players to be free agents to sign them, recent examples including Kylian Mbappe, David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger.
There is no guarantee with that strategy, especially when you consider that Alexander-Arnold’s love for his boyhood club could mean he commits to a new deal before next summer.
Real need to fill a void
Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation may also prompt Real Madrid to make a move this summer and they have a particular need to bolster their squad for the 2024-25 campaign.
Dani Carvajal enjoyed an incredible season in 2023-24, scoring in the Champions League final for Real and playing a key role as Spain won Euro 2024.
But the right-back is now 32 and is another player in the final year of his contract so naturally Real will be looking at a succession plan.
Alexander-Arnold would be an upgrade for the Champions League holders and a different type of player who could elevate their side.
No other club is in the running for his signature at present so the odds on a Real Madrid move are likely only going to shorten, making the current price of 3/1 attractive.
