DEVASTATING NEWS: Reported By Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool Has Agreed On A £70M Deal To Let Trent Alexander-Arnold Join Real Madrid. According To Reports Coming From Anfield Liverpool Have Decided To Part Ways With The England International Who Has Been One Of The Most Outstanding Player For The Club Ever Since His Debut. Alexander-Arnold’s Contract Is Up In 2025 And This Has Caught The Attention Of Real Madrid Who Have Striked A Deal To Bring Him To Santiago Bernabeu. Liverpool AGREES To SELL Trent Alexander-Arnold To Real Madrid.
In a recent statement, Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has raised the possibility that Trent Alexander-Arnold could become expendable for the team, especially considering the emergence of Conor Bradley as a potential replacement. Currently serving as Liverpool’s vice-captain, Alexander-Arnold’s future with the club is uncertain as his contract is set to expire in 2025, with Real Madrid showing interest in acquiring him. Although Real Madrid has yet to make a formal bid, they could pursue Alexander-Arnold if negotiations between him and Liverpool hit a snag.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Liverpool has not yet initiated discussions with the 25-year-old regarding a contract extension. Furthermore, Liverpool is undergoing restructuring in their recruitment department and is expected to appoint a new manager in the upcoming summer. However, given Real Madrid’s interest, Liverpool cannot afford to delay negotiations.
Nicol, a respected figure at Liverpool, suggests that the club should consider selling Alexander-Arnold if Real Madrid expresses interest this summer. Nicol acknowledges Alexander-Arnold’s attacking prowess but raises concerns about his defensive capabilities. He argues that Liverpool has sufficient depth at right-back with the emergence of Conor Bradley, who, while not yet on the same level as Alexander-Arnold skill-wise, offers stronger defensive attributes.
Nicol states, “Trent Alexander-Arnold is not a good defender, but he is so good going forward. If Real Madrid were to offer, I don’t know, 60, 70, 80 million, when you’ve got a young kid in Conor Bradley, who is a miles better defender but is great going forward – [but] isn’t in the same class as Trent – so it depends on the next manager, whether it’s a possibility.”
Conor Bradley recently showcased his attacking prowess during Northern Ireland’s match against Scotland by scoring a remarkable goal, ultimately securing victory for his team. Despite only making 18 senior appearances for Liverpool this season, the 20-year-old has already contributed with a goal and six assists, impressing in the absence of Alexander-Arnold. His teammate, Andrew Robertson, has endorsed Bradley’s potential, foreseeing him as a future standout player. Given Bradley’s promising performances and Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation, Liverpool may indeed contemplate parting ways with the latter.
