Real Madrid Plot Bold Move with Secret Strategy to Sign Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold” Real Madrid remain keen on signing Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold next summer, with the La Liga champions planning to leverage Jude Bellingham’s close friendship with the full-back to entice him to Madrid.
The 25-year-old’s contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the current season, and there have been no definitive signs of a renewal being offered to the England international just yet.
Liverpool is expected to address Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation later in the season as they prepare for the 2025 transfer windows.
In the meantime, Real Madrid is closely monitoring the right-back’s status at Anfield, where he’s currently thriving under Arne Slot, with Liverpool enjoying a strong start to the season.
Alexander-Arnold is expected to assess his options under the Dutch manager’s leadership before making any decisions about his future. However, Real Madrid’s interest remains serious.
Reports earlier this year indicated the Spanish giants were eyeing him should he become a free agent in 2025, and recent updates from Relevo suggest that contact has already been initiated between Alexander-Arnold and Madrid.
Real Madrid is said to have had several discussions with Alexander-Arnold’s representatives regarding a potential move in 2025.
Additionally, the report reveals that the defender recently rejected a new contract offer from Liverpool, casting uncertainty over his future at the club.
Real Madrid sees an opportunity to use Bellingham, who has developed a strong bond with Alexander-Arnold through their time together on England duty, to help sway the full-back’s decision.
Bellingham, who has already won the Champions League and La Liga in his debut season with Madrid, is expected to share his success stories and encourage Alexander-Arnold to join him at the Bernabéu next summer
