Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future is still up in the air.

The England international, just like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, has entered the final six months of his deal at Anfield.

The Reds have been trying to extend the contracts of all three players, but there hasn’t been an agreement on that front just yet.

The feeling around the footballing world is that Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool this summer. Real Madrid seems like his most likely destination.

What Real Madrid’s leaders decided about Trent Alexander-Arnold when Kyle Walker was offered to them

Kyle Walker asked Manchester City to let him leave a few weeks ago.

The Englishman had a rough first half of the season at the Etihad, and his performances came under a lot of criticism.

So, Walker decided to leave, and Marca claim that he was offered to Real Madrid, who are having a bit of a crisis at right-back due to the injury to Dani Carvajal.

However, the Galacticos, after discussing Walker in meetings, decided that they did not want to sign the Manchester City star in this window.

That’s because Real Madrid have internally made it clear that it will either be Alexander-Arnold or nothing in terms of signings in this window.

The report claims that the Spanish giants have ‘decided to wait for Liverpool to give up’ and sell Alexander-Arnold to them in the next few days.

But, there has been no indication that Arne Slot’s side will part ways with their star right-back now when they are in the middle of a title race.

The big reason why Real Madrid and Alexander-Arnold haven’t reached an agreement yet

Real Madrid are still dreaming of signing Alexander-Arnold in this window, and they will need Liverpool’s blessing for that.

However, Carlo Ancelotti’s side can sign the defender on a pre-contract now ahead of a free transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer.

That feels like the more realistic option at this stage, but Real Madrid haven’t been able to reach an agreement with Alexander-Arnold yet for one reason – wages.

Reports have claimed that the Liverpool star is demanding a salary close to what his good pal Jude Bellingham earns at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid’s first offer to the Englishman wasn’t close to that, so there is no agreement between the two parties just yet.
