Liverpool Announces Exchange Offer to Madrid: Florentino's Response

Liverpool have expressed their willingness to negotiate for Arnold, but asking for a Real Madrid player in exchange.

Liverpool are planning to negotiate a transfer with Real Madrid in January. They know full well at Anfield that Trent Alexander-Arnold 's contract expires in 2025 and he could end up on a free transfer with the Merengues, but they have offered the chance for him to arrive in January. This would be earlier than expected, ending the problem that the team has on the right flank.

However, this exchange operation that Liverpool intend to carry out would open an important gap in another position, that of central midfield. Defensa Central has discovered that Anfield is proposing to make a swap between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tchouaméni, aware of the rumors that indicate Florentino Pérez's anger with his performance.

Despite this proposal, the reality is that the president of Real Madrid hasn't thought of accepting it at any time. While it's true that Trent Alexander-Arnold is liked and interested, the reality is that, with his contract ending in 2025, he could arrive for free and without paying a single euro next season.

However, by accepting this swap with Liverpool, they would lose an important asset like Tchouaméni. The Frenchman is likely to leave next season, but he will do so leaving money in the bank and not being exchanged for another player.

Tchouaméni will not continue at Real Madrid

He hasn't responded as expected and must leave. Florentino Pérez is fed up and hopes to recover his investment for next season. It has become clear that in their particular battle, the one who has won the duel has been Camavinga, who hopes to gain importance in the coming months.

In comparison, Florentino believes that Camavinga is much better than his compatriot and has adapted better to what Real Madrid needs. The idea is to find a new destination for Aurélien Tchouaméni, who will not continue next season.

Camavinga is not the only alternative on the table. He is very popular, but since the Ballon d'Or, Rodrigo has been losing momentum.

Florentino Pérez is considering several names for the Real Madrid midfield position. What is hot is that Tchouaméni will not continue next season, while Trent Alexander-Arnold will arrive... but he will do so for free and without negotiating any transfer with Liverpool.

This exchange has been completely ruled out, there's no intention of carrying it out at Real Madrid .
