Real Madrid are close to completing a deal to sign Trent Alexander‑Arnold on a free transfer this summer. The Liverpool right-back has long been a target for the European champions and there is now a widespread expectation that he will join Carlo Ancelotti’s side when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The move has not yet been finalised and an agreement will need to be communicated to Liverpool when it is sealed. But sources in Spain have indicated that Madrid have put a five‑year deal on the table for Alexander-Arnold, paving the way for him to bring an end to his association with his boyhood club. The 26‑year‑old defender has been crucial in Liverpool’s recent success and has largely been excellent this season.
