Fabrizio Romano: Trent Alexander-Arnold Agrees to Join Real Madrid
Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially informed Liverpool that he will not be renewing his contract with the club, setting the stage for one of the most high-profile transfers of the upcoming window.
According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 25-year-old right-back has reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid. The La Liga giants are expected to finalise a five-year contract with Alexander-Arnold in the coming days, with an official announcement reportedly imminent.
Alexander-Arnold’s current deal with Liverpool expires on June 30, but there is a strong possibility he could link up with Los Blancos even earlier. Due to the revised structure of the FIFA Club World Cup, clubs have access to an additional early-June transfer window. This allows Real Madrid to potentially compensate Liverpool for the early termination of his contract and register the England international in time for the global tournament.
The Anfield academy product has been a cornerstone of Liverpool’s modern success under Jürgen Klopp, but the allure of joining the 14-time Champions League winners appears to have swayed his decision.
This season, Alexander-Arnold has contributed 4 goals and 7 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions, continuing to showcase his elite attacking output from the right flank.
