Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future has sparked much debate, with his Liverpool contract reportedly expiring next summer. This could see one of the world’s best right-backs become a free agent, raising the prospect of a move to Real Madrid. The Spanish giants have a strong track record of signing top players as free agents, with Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger, and David Alaba being recent examples.

According to MARCA, Liverpool and Real Madrid directors reportedly agree that Alexander-Arnold has no intention of renewing his contract with the Premier League leaders. This could prompt Real Madrid to act sooner than expected, especially as they currently face significant injury issues. A January transfer, if feasible at a reasonable price, might allow Real Madrid to secure a top defender to bolster their squad as they pursue major titles.
