Trent Alexander-Arnold has outlined his demands to Real Madrid for leaving Liverpool

Once, the idea of Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving Liverpool seemed almost impossible. Now, with his contract ending this season, the right-back faces an uncertain future.

At 25, he has under 10 months remaining on his deal, which earns him £180,000 per week according to Spotrac. If a contract extension isn’t reached, he will become a free agent at the season’s end and can negotiate with clubs outside England starting in January.

Real Madrid, managed by Carlo Ancelotti, is reportedly interested in acquiring him. The club consistently seeks top talent and is in the process of assembling what many consider the best squad in football.

With stars like Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe, and likely future Ballon d’Or winner Vini Jr, Madrid boasts a formidable attack. However, president Florentino Perez aims to strengthen the defense, and Alexander-Arnold is a prime target.

Attracting him from Liverpool won’t be straightforward due to his strong ties with the club. Nevertheless, a recent report from Fichajes states that the England international has conveyed his terms to the La Liga side.

His first condition is a substantial salary increase, which Real Madrid could accommodate, as 11 players at the club currently earn more than he does at Liverpool (Capology). The second condition is to join a trophy-winning team—a request Madrid can easily fulfill, having won three major titles last season, including the Champions League.

With no signs of waning, Madrid continues to solidify its status as Europe’s premier club.

Report suggests Trent Alexander-Arnold is nearing a €140 ‘mega-deal’

Trent Alexander-Arnold is nearing a €140 million deal, as reported by the French newspaper L’Equipe.

The 25-year-old right-back has had an outstanding start to the season, with ongoing speculation about a free transfer to Real Madrid when his contract expires in the summer.

He is now interested in pursuing club ownership, targeting Ligue 1 side FC Nantes, according to L’Equipe on Friday.

The ownership bid of Trent 

After exploring a buyout of AS Saint-Etienne, Trent and his family shifted their focus to FC Nantes. The report indicates that Michael Arnold, Trent’s father and manager of his son’s interests through a London-based investment firm, is keen on the French sports market.

This follows Kylian Mbappe and his family becoming shareholders in Ligue 2 club SM Caen over the summer. Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), also considered purchasing Girondins de Bordeaux but withdrew due to the uncertain financial situation in French football, with Bordeaux now in the fourth division.

Nantes is owned by Waldemar Kita, who is facing growing tensions with the fans. Kita has held a video conference with the English group and met with their legal representative. A verbal offer was made, consisting of €80 million upfront, €20 million later, and up to €40 million in potential bonuses.

Although Kita initially agreed to an external audit of the club in another meeting, he has since retracted this and has not indicated any willingness to accept the proposed offer.

L’Equipe also noted that Nantes’ owner is ‘furious’ about the media leak and has decided to terminate discussions.

Additionally, James Pearce, Liverpool’s reporter for The Athletic, claims the report is inaccurate.

Trent has been impressive this season, but Liverpool fans are becoming anxious as his contract approaches its end. He, along with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, all have contracts expiring this summer, and none have renewed yet.
