Real Madrid’s interest in Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold has been simmering for months. The Spanish giants see the England international as an ideal long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal in the right-back position. What makes Alexander-Arnold even more appealing is his versatility, with the ability to slot into midfield, providing flexibility for any team he plays for.

However, while Alexander-Arnold’s current contract with Liverpool is set to expire in 2025, giving Real Madrid hope, recent comments from the player suggest he might not be in a hurry to leave Anfield.

Real Madrid’s Interest in Alexander-Arnold

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has made it clear that securing Alexander-Arnold is a priority. With the player eligible to begin pre-contract talks from January 2025, the Madrid camp is hoping to lure him to the Santiago Bernabéu. The club sees him as the perfect fit to lead their defence into the next era, while also adding another creative element to their midfield when needed. (via SkySports)

Alexander-Arnold’s ability to perform at the highest level in multiple roles is a key reason why Madrid are so determined to sign him. The right-back has been one of the standout performers in European football over recent years, consistently showing his world-class talent in both the Premier League and the Champions LeagueCheck their next Champions League match against Lille!


Alexander-Arnold’s Future at Liverpool

Despite the interest from Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold’s recent statements indicate that his heart remains in Liverpool. Speaking to the media, the Liverpool star reiterated his desire to stay at the club where he has spent 20 years.

“I’ve always said that I want to be the captain of Liverpool. That’s my goal, but whether it happens or not isn’t up to me,” Alexander-Arnold said. He also emphasised that any future contract discussions with Liverpool would remain private, as they have been in the past.

These comments suggest that while Alexander-Arnold is open to staying, his future remains somewhat uncertain. Liverpool will need to act quickly to secure the defender’s long-term commitment, or they could risk losing him to one of Europe’s top clubs.


Will Alexander-Arnold Stay at Liverpool?

While Alexander-Arnold seems focused on Liverpool for now, football is unpredictable, and circumstances can change rapidly. Real Madrid’s interest won’t fade easily, and as the January 2025 window approaches, the pressure will only intensify. Whether the pull of becoming a Liverpool captain outweighs the opportunity to play for one of the most successful clubs in world football remains to be seen.
