The Reds right-back is closing in on becoming a free agent, with his current contract at Anfield due to expire in a few months’ time.
With no sign of progress over Alexander-Arnold committing to a new Liverpool contract, it seems sources in Spain fully expect that the 26-year-old will now become a Real Madrid player in June.
See below as El Chiringuito journalist Josep Pedrerol claims there could even be a chance of a move happening this January, but only for €35-40m…
One imagines that might be a bit too much for Madrid to consider paying now when they can just wait a few months to sign him on a free, while Liverpool probably won’t want to lose such an important player in the middle of the season anyway.
Even if Alexander-Arnold is close to leaving for nothing, the club might calculate that it’s better to have him in their team in the months ahead instead of banking around €40m for him, which most likely wouldn’t be anywhere near enough to replace him anyway.

It certainly seems like we’re heading towards Alexander-Arnold swapping Anfield for the Bernabeu this summer, but we also know things can change quickly in football.
Fabrizio Romano recently spoke to CaughtOffside about the Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid saga, and stressed that LFC still want to try their best to keep him, even if Los Blancos are confident about the deal.
