Alexander Arnold, who continues to refuse to renew his contract with Liverpool, has contacted Real Madrid.
British media 'GoalCom' reported on the 4th (Korea time) that "European champion Real Madrid has already been in contact with Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold."
Arnold's true value started in the 2018/19 season. He showed good performance throughout the season, assisted strikers with his unique kick skills, and displayed stellar performance in the Champions League, scoring a total of one goal and 16 assists to win the Champions League and was named the PFA Team of the Year.
With 277 appearances for Liverpool, he not only won the Champions League, but also the 2020 Premier League, as well as the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. Arnold scored 16 goals and recorded a whopping 73 assists during that time.
Arnold was ranked 22nd at the 2022 Ballon d'Or as Liverpool finished second in the Premier League behind Manchester City and missed the historic four-time champion by a hair's breadth. He was too unstable in defense in the first half of last season, but he proved why he was a world-class defensive player with a monstrous performance as his tactics were revised in the second half.
Arnold, who was also at the heart of Klopp's tactics last season, scored three goals and four assists in 28 games. � Arnold has returned to his original position as a right fullback since the coach came and has played in all six league games this season with one assist.
Arnold has now established himself as one of the best defenders in Europe, and as a result, he has gained the attention of coach Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid. Real Madrid attempted to make their first contact with Alexander Arnold in order to persuade them to move to Spain next summer.
Losing Alexander-Arnold, who achieved everything in Liverpool, will be a big blow to Liverpool. Conor Bradley is emerging as a replacement for right-back, but Arnold's skills are hard to match.
Alexander-Arnold has a very close friendship with Jude Bellingham. The two spent a lot of time together for England during Euro 2024, and Bellingham may play a key role in persuading Arnold to leave Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold is currently a Liverpool player and can still sign an extended contract with Liverpool. Currently, his focus is on the stadium, and Liverpool will play against Crystal Palace on the 5th (Korea time). 먹튀검증
