Trent Alexander-Arnold tells Real Madrid what it takes to leave LFC

There was a time when the prospect of Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving Liverpool was almost unthinkable. But with his contract expiring at the end of the season, the right-back faces an uncertain future.

The 25-year-old has less than 10 months left on his contract, which could earn him £180,000-a-week, according to Spotrac.

If his contract is not extended, the player, who has just emerged from the academy, will not only be a free agent at the end of the season, but will also be eligible to negotiate a pre-contract with a club outside England from January.

And the club aiming for a sensational transfer is Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid.

Los Blancos are always looking for the best players in the sporting world and are steadily building what is arguably the best team in the world.

Real Madrid want Trent Alexander-Arnold as next Galatico

Players like Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and future Ballon d’Or winner Vini Jr form Madrid’s star attack, but president Florentino Perez now wants to strengthen his club’s defence.

Topping the list of the 15-time European champions is number 66 Liverpool.

Given the defender’s affinity with the Reds, luring him to Madrid will not be easy.

Two conditions for leaving Liverpool

However, according to a recent report from Fichajes, the England international has already let the La Liga giants know what is required to agree to terms.

A significant pay rise is Alexander-Arnold’s first demand, a condition Real Madrid could meet given Liverpool already have 11 players earning more than him (Capology).

The full-back’s second request is to be part of a team that wins trophies — another condition Los Blancos would have no problem with. Last season, the Spanish giants won three major trophies, including the Champions League.

Madrid’s reputation as Europe’s elite club will likely remain dominant for some time to come, but it shows no signs of disappearing any time soon.
