Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is working on plans for next summer and the club are keen to spend big to support Arne Slot. However, the Reds are also facing the threat of losing some key players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold who will be out of contract at the end of the season. Liverpool are also in the market for some top players who are also wanted at some of the biggest clubs in Europe as well. However, Real Madrid are the ones who will pose the biggest threat to the Merseyside giants’ transfer plans.
Everyone is now aware that the Spanish giants want Trent Alexander-Arnold and are trying to lure the Liverpudlian away from Anfield on a free transfer in the next summer transfer window.
Liverpool have apparently offered the defender a contract that would make him the highest-paid player in the Premier League and he is also keen to stay. However, a new deal has not been agreed yet and Real Madrid will present their massive contract offer to him in January.
Alexander-Arnold is still undecided and the lure of Real Madrid are making him think twice on whether to commit his future to his boyhood club in the coming months.
However, Real Madrid have ideas to cause more problems to Liverpool and threaten their transfer plans in the next summer transfer window.
Real Madrid could snap up a player the Reds have been chasing for a while
Watching Alexander-Arnold joining Real Madrid next summer would be disastrous but the Reds could be forced to see a top target move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to TBR Football, Liverpool midfield target Martin Zubimendi would prefer a move to Real Madrid if he leaves Real Sociedad next summer.
He has ruled out leaving La Real in the winter window despite the suggestion that the Reds are plotting a deal to sign him next month.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
It has been claimed that he has made no decision on whether he wants to move on from Real Sociedad and still mulling over what he could do.
However, despite Liverpool chasing him last summer, a move to Real Madrid would be his preference over other options if he chooses to leave Real Sociedad at the end of the season.
It seems the European champions are emerging as the real nemesis for Liverpool in the next summer transfer window. They could see Alexander-Arnold move to Spain but losing out on Zubimendi to Real Madrid would be a major heartbreak for the Reds.
