Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly made a transfer decision for 2025 as contract talks continue at Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold is out of contract with the Premier League giants at the end of the current season and talks are underway on an extension.
Despite Arne Slot’s confidence in retaining the defender, the English star has two options: sign a five-year renewal on Merseyside or accept a new challenge at Real Madrid.
Conflicting reports from Spain and the UK have complicated the picture, but an exclusive update from Marca claims Alexander-Arnold has decided on Madrid, following a bold revelation.
The report claims that the 26-year-old has finally made up his mind and, following the latest round of talks, informed club officials of his intentions.
Liverpool did not want to go into January without a decision on their number 66, but they may not offer an official update until later in 2025 unless there is another U-turn.
Real Madrid have sought to stay on the sidelines to allow the defender to make his own move, but optimism is high because a deal is very close to being finalised.
