Real Madrid are eyeing a Bosman deal for Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold
Real Madrid have made a name for themselves with astute transfer strategies over recent seasons, signing some of the world’s best young talents and securing top players on free transfers. Their latest target? Liverpool superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold.
According to AS, the Spanish giants are quietly working on securing Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer. With the Liverpool academy graduate entering the final 12 months of his contract, he will be free to negotiate with foreign clubs on a pre-contract agreement starting in January.
Alexander-Arnold, promoted to Liverpool’s first team in 2016, has been instrumental in the club’s success under Jurgen Klopp. The 25-year-old’s exceptional crossing ability, vision, and attacking prowess make him indispensable to the Reds. Despite his apparent commitment to Liverpool for the upcoming season, his long-term future remains uncertain, with his contract expiring in 2025.
Without a new deal in place, the 25-year-old could leave for free next summer, a scenario Liverpool are desperate to avoid. By January, their control over the situation will diminish as he becomes eligible to sign a pre-contract with an overseas club. Given that he is a local lad, it is fair to say that leaving Liverpool for Madrid are unlikely to aid his legacy at the club.
Throughout the summer, Los Blancos have been linked with Alexander-Arnold. Although it was suggested they might bid before the 2024 summer transfer window closes, Carlo Ancelotti has clarified that no more signings will be made this window. Nevertheless, their interest remains strong.
Real Madrid’s need for a long-term right-back solution is becoming more pressing. While Dani Carvajal remains reliable, he is 32 years old, and Lucas Vazquez is not expected to be a long-term solution. Alexander-Arnold fits perfectly into Real Madrid’s future plans. The presence of his close friend and fellow Englishman, Jude Bellingham, who is trying to persuade him, could be significant.

From Liverpool’s perspective, losing Trent Alexander-Arnold, especially on a free transfer, would be a massive blow. He is not just a player; he embodies the club’s philosophy and has been instrumental in their recent successes. His ability to create chances and influence games from the right-back position is unmatched.
The club must act swiftly to secure his future. Offering him a lucrative new contract that reflects his value to the team is essential. Additionally, Liverpool should continue to build a squad that can compete for top honours, ensuring that players like Alexander-Arnold see their long-term future at Anfield.
