Trent Alexander-Arnold Contract Talks with Real Madrid Remain Unsettled

Trent Alexander-Arnold has not reached any agreement to join Real Madrid, despite recent Spanish media claims. Reports from Marca suggested a verbal agreement for a free transfer, but Sky Sports clarified that these claims are false. Liverpool rejected a £15 million bid for the player in January and is focused on extending his contract, with no update on his future yet.

After the recent speculation surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future, reports from Spain claimed that the Liverpool right-back had reached a verbal agreement to join Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season. This claim followed Real Madrid’s disappointing 5-2 loss to Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana, which led to the Spanish media pushing for a positive story. However, these reports have been refuted by Sky Sports' Vinny O'Connor, who confirmed that there is no agreement in place.

Alexander-Arnold, who is free to discuss terms with clubs outside England, is yet to provide any updates on his future. Liverpool have rejected a £15 million bid for the 26-year-old, with no intention of selling. Despite some media speculation suggesting a potential stopgap signing in January for Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold remains committed to Liverpool, as shown by his recent strong performances against teams like Tottenham, Accrington Stanley, and Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool are hopeful of securing a new long-term contract for the academy graduate, and while there have been no developments regarding a move to Real Madrid, the club remains focused on retaining their star player.
