The 25-year-old has made over 300 appearances for Liverpool and won seven trophies including the 2019 Champions League.
In the latest transfer saga, Real Madrid’s hopes of signing Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer this summer have taken a hit. According to the *Liverpool Echo*, Liverpool remain confident that the right-back will extend his contract, despite Madrid reportedly offering a lucrative five-year deal worth €90 million, with an annual salary of €17-18 million.
Alexander-Arnold, who has been with Liverpool since the age of six, has made over 300 appearances for the club, winning seven major trophies, including the 2019 Champions League and 2020 Premier League title. While Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk were always expected to renew their contracts, it was believed that Trent might leave. However, Liverpool now appear optimistic about retaining their star defender.
Madrid have long seen the 25-year-old as a successor to the ageing Dani Carvajal, but his future remains uncertain. His contract at Anfield expires in June, making him eligible for a Bosman transfer. Despite 33 England caps, Alexander-Arnold has struggled to earn full trust at the international level.
With Liverpool pushing for a renewal and Madrid keen on securing him, the coming months will determine whether Trent remains a one-club legend or embarks on a new chapter in Spain.
