Real trying to sign Alexander-Arnold in time for Club World Cup

Before the start of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid wants to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The England defender has confirmed that he will leave Liverpool when his contract expires later this summer. He is expected to become a free agent with the Spanish club.

The Club World Cup begins 16 days before Alexander-Arnold’s contract with Liverpool expires on June 30.

According to what BBC Sport is aware of, Real have spoken with Liverpool in order to work out a deal to bring Alexander-Arnold forward so they can prepare for the Fifa-organised tournament in the United States.

The Spanish club is reportedly considering a release offer of around €1 million (£850,000) from Alexander-Arnold early in his contract.

Real may also be willing to pay Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold’s wages as they try to find a solution, it has been suggested.

All parties’ discussions are characterized as friendly discussions.

Fifa, the world’s oldest football organization, has confirmed that there will be a short initial transfer window this summer that will allow competing clubs to update their squads in time for the competition.
