Liverpool fans are growing weary of the constant speculation surrounding the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield. However, there is no way to escape the rumours until the player decides to sign a new deal or confirms his departure from the club in the summer.
Alexander-Arnold is a Liverpool-born fan of the club who has been one of the greatest success stories of their academy and has won every major trophy with the Reds by his mid-20s,
At 26, Liverpool should have been looking forward to the player being the leader of the next generation of stars at Anfield but are now facing the threat of him walking away for nothing in the summer.
Real Madrid have offered him the mega-bucks to move to the Spanish capital on a free transfer and the multiple times he has rejected an offer of a new deal suggests Liverpool are not making any headway in negotiations.
Los Blancos are growing confident of signing him but they are unlikely to have a clear run at the player even if he doesn’t sign a new contract.
Paris Saint-Germain are said to be keen on getting their hands on him as well and it has been claimed two new European heavyweights are now in the race.
The Trent Alexander-Arnold race heats up
Liverpool are working hard behind the scenes to convince the player that his future lies at Anfield despite the lure of Real Madrid.
However, more options are emerging for the player as according to TEAMtalk, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also interested in the England international.
Bayern Munich are expected to enter the market for a top-class right-back next summer and they are alive to the contract situation of Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool.
Can you name the club Liverpool signed these players from?
Barcelona would love to do nothing more than spoil Real Madrid’s plans for Alexander-Arnold by beating them to his signing as well.
Both clubs can claim to be glamour destinations for the defender who wants to win the Ballon d’Or as a right-back.
However, Real Madrid are calm about the situation and are confident that they are best-placed to sign him next summer.
They are under the assumption if Alexander-Arnold decides to leave Liverpool, he will only do it to join Real Madrid.
Barcelona and Bayern Munich are prepared to pitch compelling projects to Alexander-Arnold once he is free to hold talks with clubs outside England in January.
