Trent Alexander-Arnold reportedly interested in Real Madrid’s project

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly interested in Real Madrid’s project and has been “seduced” by the idea of playing in Spain.

Alexander-Arnold is out of contract at Liverpool, his boyhood club, at the end of the season and no agreement over a new deal has been forthcoming. The England international is joined in this situation by Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

However, latest report have claimed all the three players have been offered terms to extend their time at Anfield beyond this season. This move came after Salah publicly revealed there was no proposal as recently as last month.

While Salah and Van Dijk have both made staying at Liverpool their priority, Alexander-Arnold’s case is different.

“I think with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, it’s been so unequivocal that they want to stay. They’ve never given any indication otherwise,” Melissa Reddy told Sky Sports’ Transfer Talk podcast.

“To my knowledge, there’s been no negotiations with any external clubs.

“That is the inverse with Trent [Alexander-Arnold], because Real Madrid are heavily invested in getting him. He is seduced by that idea and you can’t really blame him for being so. He’s achieved quite a lot with Liverpool. In the interviews he’s given recently, some of the statements he’s been putting out, it’s very much like I’m listening to Real’s sales pitch given back to me.”

At the age of 26, Alexander-Arnold is regarded among the best in his position. With Real Madrid currently having injury problems, Arnold has been tipped with a move to the Spanish capital.

However, rather than pay a transfer fee, Madrid are hoping Arnold runs down his contract so he will be signed on a free transfer.
