Real Madrid has reportedly put together a lucrative contract offer for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Might it be too good for the Liverpool star to resist?
Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to be a name which Real Madrid fans hear no end of this season. Hopefully, this results in the player actually being signed for the Spanish capital.
In case you missed it, Real Madrid legend Dani Carvajal could miss the remainder of the season. Therefore, Real Madrid’s vulnerability at right-back has been exploited in recent weeks.
It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid is active in the January transfer window. Either way, Trent Alexander-Arnold is a transfer target, whether it be for January or the following summer, when he is out of contract.
Real Madrid formulate lucrative contract for Trent Alexander-Arnold
According to a report by Caught Offside, Real Madrid are planning to offer a huge contract to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The contract is worth £14-15million per year and could last until 2030.
Needless to say, this offer will be almost be irresistible for Trent Alexander-Arnold. As it stands, the deal is close to double what he currently earns at Liverpool.
It is worth noting that no concrete moves have been made by Real Madrid at this stage. They are simply in the preparation stages.
Furthermore, Liverpool are formulating their own contract plans. So, at this stage, anything can happen.
However, given that Trent Alexander-Arnold is only under contract at Liverpool until this summer, Real Madrid has the upper-hand. They are aware that Liverpool might be losing hope, the more time progresses.
The report from Caught Offside does not state any timescale for the potential contract offering. Financially, it would make sense for Real Madrid to wait until summer, to avoid a transfer fee. Logically, it makes more sense to pay the fee and sign him in January, replacing the injured Dani Carvajal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best full-backs in the world. A few seasons ago, he was down and out after a bright start to his career. However, in recent campaigns, he has sprung back to life.
Known for his incredible creativity and passing range, Trent Alexander-Arnold would add an entirely new dimension to Real Madrid. He must improve his defending ability, particularly in one-on-one situations. However, this is something he can achieve in the Spanish capital, surrounded by the best of the best.
