Real Madrid have remained optimistic about an agreement for Trent Alexander-Arnold to arrive in the summer. However, current Liverpool side have upped the ante with their latest offer and are willing to pay the 26-year-old €93 million over five seasons.
This is according to The Mirror in England, quoted by Marca, which says that Liverpool are desperate to retain Alexander-Arnold, but feel that with this offer they cannot do more to persuade him. In any case, Alexander-Arnold would earn something similar at Real Madrid: his salary at Liverpool would be around €18.6 million per season, while Los Blancos are willing to give him €18.72 million per year.
Real Madrid had approached Liverpool about a transfer in the January transfer window, but those talks have been rejected out of hand by the Merseyside club, as they attempt to persuade Alexander-Arnold to remain at the club. It remains to be seen whether they will change that stance should they give up hope of retaining Alexander-Arnold beyond the summer, with Real Madrid keen to strengthen the right-back position due to Dani Carvajal’s season-ending injury. .
