Real Madrid are intensifying their pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the Spanish giants reportedly set to make him their top transfer priority in 2025.
The Liverpool right-back’s contract expires at the end of the season, allowing Madrid to begin negotiations in January under UEFA’s transfer regulations.
While Liverpool have offered the 26-year-old a contract extension, Real Madrid are optimistic they can sway Alexander-Arnold away from Anfield.
Diario AS reports that Madrid have alternatives, including Spain international Pedro Porro, but remain focused on Alexander-Arnold as their first choice.
With Liverpool currently leading the Premier League, the Reds have the remainder of 2024 to try to secure Alexander-Arnold’s commitment.
However, there has been no definitive indication of the player’s intentions, leaving Madrid hopeful of a breakthrough when January negotiations open.
