Liverpool move fast to secure star as the reds plan mega offer to Real Madrid target

Liverpool are ready to put immediate plans in place to tie down Trent Alexander-Arnold to a new contract at Anfield, with Richard Hughes set to offer a mega-money new deal to the player and despite a warning from a former star that the player would find a transfer to Real Madrid ‘impossible to resist’.

Alexander-Arnold is the Liverpool vice-captain and a modern-day icon at Anfield, having come through their academy to become one of their best and most important stars. Regarded as one of the most creative full-backs in the modern game, the 25-year-old has a hugely-impressive 79 assists and 19 goals from 310 appearances for the Reds – unreal numbers for a full-back.

Although given licence to roam forwards by previous boss Jurgen Klopp, helping to aid his impressive numbers, Alexander-Arnold has also shown himself capable of playing as an out-and-out midfielder when featuring for the England team; or at least that was how Gareth Southgate used the West Derby born star over this summer’s European Championships.

Now with under a year left on his Anfield deal, Liverpool face a critical summer of talks to try and persuade Alexander-Arnold – as well as Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk – to extend their stays on Merseyside for the forseeable future.

With the trios deals all running down, the Reds would have no shortage of suitors for the their star men if they were either put up for sale this summer or the players allowed their contracts run down.

Indeed, reports from Spain of late have warned Liverpool that Real Madrid are lurking with serious intent as far as Alexander-Arnold is concerned with the player very much on their radar for a summer 2025 swoop.
