Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid transfer

The future of Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is a hot topic ahead of the January 2025 transfer window, with Real Madrid reportedly eyeing the 26-year-old as a potential target.

Speculation is growing that the Spanish giants may move for the right-back, who is seen as a long-term successor to Dani Carvajal, the 32-year-old Euro 2024 winner.

According to Sky Bet, Alexander-Arnold is priced at 4/1 to join Real Madrid, giving him a 20% chance of making the switch to the Santiago Bernabéu.

With just a year left on his Liverpool contract and the departure of Jurgen Klopp last season, uncertainty surrounds the defender’s future.

Real Madrid’s interest in securing one of the world’s top right-backs is no surprise, as they look to bolster a squad already featuring stars like Kylian Mbappe and Ballon d’Or favorite Vinicius Jr. Alexander-Arnold’s talent and versatility would make him a valuable addition to the team.

Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have started strong this season, keeping five clean sheets in their first seven Premier League matches.

Alexander-Arnold, who has been with Liverpool since the age of six, made his first-team debut in 2016 and has since racked up 319 appearances, scoring 19 goals. His trophy haul includes a Champions League title and a Premier League crown.

As Liverpool transition under Slot, the lure of Real Madrid may tempt Alexander-Arnold toward a fresh challenge and a new chapter in his career.
