Real Madrid are said to be planning an approach with Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold via an attractive contract proposal that may attract him, according to reports citing reliable sources. Accordingly, Real are interested in offering Alexander-Arnold an annual salary between PS14-15 million which would last through until 2029-2030 season.
Alexander-Arnold and his entourage have recently engaged with Real Madrid representatives to negotiate terms for an offer which may potentially double Alexander-Arnold’s current earnings at Anfield. While negotiations continue between Liverpool and Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold’s move could become even more likely.
Given Alexander-Arnold’s critical role at Liverpool, the club is believed to be preparing for any outcome. Accordingly, they are evaluating three potential candidates who could fill the vacancy should Alexander-Arnold depart next summer. Among those considered are Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, Monaco’s Vanderson, and Fiorentina’s promising talent, Michael Kayode.
Contingency Plans at Liverpool
Under Alexander-Arnold’s uncertain future, Liverpool are actively searching for his replacements. Jeremie Frimpong – known for his contributions during Leverkusen’s unbeaten Bundesliga title run last season while serving in an attacking right-back role – appears as an attractive possibility due to his similarities in playstyle and impact similar to Alexander-Arnold.
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s new manager, faces an immense challenge navigating contract renewal negotiations for key players like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk while maintaining squad stability throughout these negotiations. Ensuring squad stability through these negotiations will be vital if Liverpool wishes to achieve its ambitions over the course of future seasons.
