Is Liverpool's refusal to sell Arnold to Real Madrid a blow?

VIỆT HÙNG |

Before renewing Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool also did not want to let this striker leave in the summer of 2025 in the face of Real Madrid's interest.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is Real Madrid's most rumored target in 2024. As the English defender's contract with Liverpool expires (June 2025), rumors about him joining Los Blancos are growing more frequent.

There has been no news about Liverpool reopening negotiations to extend Alexander-Arnold's contract, so if this continues, The Kop will not be able to keep him after June. More importantly, they will lose one of the biggest stars in European football for free. If they do not successfully renew, Liverpool will definitely find a way to sell Alexander-Arnold this month.

Alexander-Arnold has been free to negotiate with any club he wants, but whether or not he leaves this January depends entirely on Liverpool. In 2024, Real Madrid have contacted Liverpool more than once about this deal but have been rejected. According to The Athletic, the most problematic problem is how many transfers this transfer has, Real Madrid has not yet given.

Most recently, Liverpool once again rejected Real Madrid's offer for Alexander-Arnold. The Anfield team even denied rumors that Alexander-Arnold had expressed his desire to visit the Bernabeu. According to The Athletic, although the two sides have not yet sat down to negotiate an extension, Liverpool hope that Alexander-Arnold can continue to contribute normally to the club he has been with since childhood.

The reason Real Madrid is impatient for Alexander-Arnold is because they have been looking for a right-back since Dani Carvajal suffered an ACL injury. Even if Carvajal is not seriously injured, Los Blancos still want Alexander-Arnold to gradually take over that position because Carvajal is 32 years old.

Another reason that can explain Liverpool's decision to refuse is that January is always the most fierce period of the season. If they sell Alexander-Arnold, Liverpoolpol will lose a very important star in their journey to conquer the titles this season. Currently, Arne Slot's team is leading the table in both the Premier League and Champions League and has only lost 1 match since the beginning of the season.

Currently, Real Madrid has refused to comment on the information that Liverpool rejected the Alexander-Arnold deal. However, the Royal team will not give up because this could just be the opponent's fog to put the price down. Real Madrid need Alexander-Arnold but do not need to do everything or lower themselves to Liverpool in this negotiation.

Therefore, Real Madrid will continue to wait for Alexander-Arnold. They have brought to the Bernabeu many players whose contracts have expired and have since become big stars, most recently the historic deal with Kylian Mbappe. The stars are also not at a disadvantage when joining Los Blancos when joining as free agents because the salary and benefits will be higher than the usual level.
