A pre-contract deal is imminent because his contract expires in June.There are no rewards for speculating on his whereabouts. Since March, Real Madrid has been after Alexander-Arnold, and they don\u2019t appear to be slowing down.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to Marca, Alexander-Arnold\u2019s contract at Anfield will not be renewed, and both Liverpool and Real Madrid agree on this.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GT6D30SWUAAUlRK.jpg:large\" alt=\"Confirm! Real Madrid and Liverpool Agree on Trent Alexander-Arnold\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He is expected to go next year, according to both of them; the only question is whether Madrid can persuade Liverpool to sell in January.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool\u2019s significant choiceSo, should Liverpool simply release him? It goes without saying that having some money in January is preferable to having none at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GTlrkYibYAAzrrh.jpg:large\" alt=\"Confirm! Real Madrid and Liverpool Agree on Trent Alexander-Arnold\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, we\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s really that easy. Since the amount is less than what they value Alexander-Arnold\u2019s six-month contract at, Real Madrid ultimately wants to pay that sum.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Scouser increases their chances of winning the Champions League, they think any tiny cost is worthwhile. They are correct, but Liverpool is in a similar situation.<\/p>\n<p>With him on the team, the Reds stand a stronger chance of winning Europe\u2019s top award. Even if Liverpool advances one more round in Europe, the increased prize money would most likely exceed the transfer fee.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we don\u2019t see any justification for selling. Alexander-Arnold will be off in the summer, not the winter, despite Liverpool\u2019s belief to the contrary.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s ability to agree to a move with a non-English club is less than two months away\u2014well, less than&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6358,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Confirm!
