Real Madrid are willing to pay £20 million to sign Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold this January, according to reports. The full back, 26, is out of contract in the summer and Mail Sport have reported on how the Spanish champions have confidence they can tempt him to join them.

Real Madrid are willing to pay £20 million to sign Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold this January, according to reports. The full back, 26, is out of contract in the summer and Mail Sport have reported on how the Spanish champions have confidence they can tempt him to join them.

   
But with veteran right back Dani Carvajal injured, Carlo Ancelotti’s men made an attempt to try to sign Alexander-Arnold on Tuesday. It was a club-to-club approach rather than a formal offer or monetary bid that was swiftly rebuffed.
   
Now, according to The Telegraph, Madrid are considering a formal offer in the region of £20 million to convince the Merseyside giants to part ways with Alexander-Arnold.
   
The Premier League leaders have been in dialogue with Alexander-Arnold and his camp and have a desire to extend his contract – as well as the deals of Mohamed Salah and captain Virgil van Dijk.
 
Alexander-Arnold has a big decision to make over his future but up until this point has given Liverpool no indication that he wants to leave. Despite being just 26, Alexander-Arnold is one of Liverpool’s most experienced players.
   
The local lad, who has been on the books at Anfield for two decades after joining the club at the age of six, is currently 10th on the list of Liverpool players with the most Premier League appearances (243).
   
Alexander-Arnold made his first-team debut in 2016 and has since racked up 333 appearances across all competitions.  He has won eight trophies with the Reds, including the Premier League, Champions League and Club World Cup. As well as winning the Champions League in 2019, Alexander-Arnold has twice been a losing finalist against Real Madrid – in 2018 and again in 2022.
