Real Madrid has planned the squad for the next season, and it includes, 100%, the name of Trent Alexander-Arnold. He is Florentino Pérez's favorite full-back, and the negotiations are well underway, to the point that only the final signature is missing. Now at Liverpool, Arnold's contract ends on June 30, and he has attracted interest from multiple teams, such as Manchester City.
In any case, Alexander-Arnold has been clear all along that if he were to leave Liverpool, it would be to head to Real Madrid. Despite receiving strong interest from Manchester City, he had no intention of defending other colors in the Premier League. Guardiola's team wanted him to cover their deficiencies on the right flank, but they have consistently received a "no" in response.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Close to Real Madrid
The president of Real Madrid has finalized everything with Trent Alexander-Arnold. He will soon sign for the next five seasons, pocketing a significant signing 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 his Liverpool.
What Trent Alexander-Arnold was clear about is that there were only two options on his table: 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 an essential role. His friend Bellingham has also been key, speaking wonders about the capital of Spain and helping to convince him.
Trent Alexander-Arnold's commitment to Real Madrid is total. Liverpool has tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to renew his contract in recent months. Ancelotti likes the Englishman because he closely resembles his ideal full-back, none other than Dani Carvajal. Strong at the back, fast, and capable of becoming a winger if necessary.
Despite Manchester City's attempts, the reality is that Trent Alexander-Arnold has everything set with Real Madrid. There is no doubt: he will wear the white club's jersey starting next season. The only thing missing is the final signature.
