Liverpool’s vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold is yet to reveal his future to the football world after many rumors of him leaving his boyhood club for a major transfer to the Spanish giants Real Madrid.
The English right-back’s situation in Merseyside is urgent due to the contract with the Reds which will end in the summer of 2025. This has opened the huge interest of the Spanish side, due to the injury of the main right-back Dani Carvajal, who received an ACL injury and won’t be back until the start of the new 25/26 season.
Even Lucas Vasquez who replaced Carvajal after his unavailability, has received an injury that will keep him out for more than a month. Real Madrid’s board is very serious about finding a player who will be the solution for the next years in the team.
Recently, in the latest game against Aston Villa, Liverpool won 2-0 at Anfield, which opened a five-point gap in the Premier League table with second place. Manchester City lost 2-1 against Brighton, leading 1-0 in the first half from the goal of Erling Haaland.
With this win, Arne Slot’s team made an important step in the title race, but the bad news that the team received during the game was the injury of Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 25th minute who had to leave the pitch in pain. He was replaced by Conor Bradley who had an excellent performance to help his team win the game.
As reported by the Dutch manager, Alexander-Arnold’s return is expected to be in the next UEFA Champions League match against Real Madrid which will be played on 27 November. His absence would be huge in a tough game like this, so everyone is hoping that he will be back in time.
Real Madrid’s board thinks that the great friendship between Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be a key factor to bring the defender at Santiago Bernabeu. Many Spanish medias are very confident that the deal will be settled in the next weeks and Los Blancos will receive an outstanding player for free.
The player has not made anything public for the moment and this has happened every time with the contract extensions since Trent made his first debut for the Reds.
On the other hand, Arne Slot was reported by the English media that he is not worried about the situation of the vice-captain and his future, and the only thing that matters now is the success of Liverpool in the tough schedule that awaits his team after the international break.
