The trio of Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold are on expiring contracts at Liverpool. The former two have sent signals they envisage staying at Anfield, while the 25-year-old Alexander-Arnold is keeping quiet about the way forward. Now it is reported that Real Madrid have contacted Liverpool to persuade the Premier League club to let go of the right-back.
Liverpool management are initially not interested in losing their key player in a season that is headed for titles, but The Telegraph reports Real Madrid are now making a reasonably desperate attempt to start the second part of the season with Alexander-Arnold in the Real shirt.
Ancelotti has a bunch of defenders on the injury bench, the Liverpool star should give Real a much-needed reinforcement to make up for the (for Real) weak start to the season.
The English newspaper claims Real Madrid are ready to pay around €25 million this month, for the player they have the opportunity to sign as a free agent in seven months.
Liverpool are heading for titles with Alexander-Arnold a given in the starting eleven, we can’t see how Liverpool risk letting a win of €25 million ruin Liverpool’s fine-tuned team machine.
