Real Madrid will make a renewed attempt to sign Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the coming days. They have already presented a big five-year contract for the deep-lying playmaker worth around €340,000 a week.
Paris Saint-Germain, who have just unveiled the signing of left winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, have made Trent Alexander-Arnold an offer of €400,000 a week. There have been no credible signals as to how it has been received.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti’s hope was to get a reasonable deal with Livepool so that they could reach a deal this January, but they will probably have to wait until the summer.
Real Madrid will host La Palmas today at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, at the time of writing the score is 1 – 1.
A rapprochement with Liverpool was rejected early in the window, and it was recently reported that Madrid had begun to accept that they would not be able to convince the Reds to sell, but MARCA claims otherwise.
In the wake of the Super Cup defeat to Barcelona, club leaders have acknowledged the need to act this month to halt the team’s decline, and it is agreed that paying to sign Alexander-Arnold would now be “a worthy cause”.
Madrid will still try to avoid overpaying for a player who, they believe, has already decided to join them for free in the summer anyway, but they are ready to offer a deal to try and tempt Liverpool to cash in on their homegrown star while they still can.
