Florentino Pérez doesn't want to waste time. He has a "more-than-advanced agreement" with Trent Alexander-Arnold to have him play at Santiago Bernabéu, but the plan has been amended. Initially, the plan was for the Englishman to arrive next summer, but something has changed. The need is evident, so what the president wants is to bring him in immediately.
Marca has discovered that Florentino Pérez has directly approached Liverpool to try to finalize an agreement for his immediate transfer. Negotiations are underway and Real Madrid could reach the figure they are asking for at Anfield: 25 million euros. The first proposal was rejected, but the reality is that they already know Trent Alexander-Arnold only thinks about Santiago Bernabéu.
The understanding between the white club and the English full-back is complete and could even be legally valid for negotiation. So far, there hasn't been an agreement with Liverpool, but Florentino Pérez is clear that he can get him for just 25 million euros. He doesn't risk losing him if the transfer doesn't go through. He does, however, consider an immediate reinforcement necessary on the right side of the defensive area.
Currently, only Lucas Vázquez occupies the position due to Carvajal's injury. Arnold's arrival is considered very necessary,and Florentino Pérez is prepared to pay the 25 million euros Liverpool is asking for. Real Madrid is going all out to close an agreement immediately, and Anfield is willing to reach an agreement as long as they get the 25 million they are asking for.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and a Plan in Motion: 25 Million and to Real Madrid
The president of Real Madrid has everything settled with Trent Alexander-Arnold. He will sign soon for the next five seasons, pocketing a significant transfer bonus (far from what was agreed with Mbappé). Additionally, his salary will fit into the mid-high range of the wage bill. In this regard, to head to Bernabéu, the Englishman has turned down a much more lucrative contract from Liverpool.
What Trent Alexander-Arnold was clear about is that there were only two options available: go to Real Madrid or renew with Liverpool. He hasn't even considered the other options. The possibility of playing abroad, embarking on a new adventure far from his native England, has played a essential role. His friend Bellingham has also been key, speaking wonders about the capital of Spain and helping to convince him.
The plan was for him to arrive next season, but the urgent need has made Florentino Pérez take action. Trent Alexander-Arnold is going to Real Madrid immediately for 25 million euros.
