“Real Madrid’s Astonishing January Bid for Trent Alexander-Arnold Leaves Fans in Shock”
The Spanish giants are determined to sign the Liverpool star six months ahead of his contract expiration.
Liverpool fans were left in disbelief after reports surfaced detailing Real Madrid’s bold £20 million bid to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in January. With the 26-year-old’s Anfield contract set to expire in June, speculation is mounting that the England international’s next destination could be the Bernabeu.
The Athletic reported on New Year’s Eve that Real Madrid had made the offer in a bid to address their right-back crisis following Dani Carvajal’s season-ending ACL injury. With 33-year-old Lucas Vazquez struggling to provide a long-term solution, Madrid are desperate for reinforcements.
However, The Times revealed that Liverpool swiftly rejected the bid, risking the possibility of Alexander-Arnold departing on a free transfer this summer if he doesn’t agree to a new deal.
Despite the relatively low offer given Alexander-Arnold’s six-month contract window, Liverpool fans remain unconvinced by the fee. Many argue the club shouldn’t sell their star defender while chasing trophies this season.
One supporter voiced frustration, saying, “Selling Trent for £20m is basically letting him leave for free.” Another declared, “Even if they offered £100m, we wouldn’t release him. We’re keeping him to push for the title.”
As the saga unfolds, Liverpool seem adamant about retaining their homegrown talent at least until the season ends, prioritizing their pursuit of silverware over a quick financial gain.
