Alexander-Arnold Linked to Real Madrid Summer Move

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, with reports suggesting a 'verbal agreement' has been reached for a summer transfer when his contract ends. Despite Liverpool's firm stance against selling him in January, Real Madrid remains interested due to their defensive needs following Dani Carvajal's injury. The Spanish club has been persistent, with various sources citing different potential fees they might offer to expedite the transfer. Liverpool is considering Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich as a possible replacement, and the club is reportedly offering Alexander-Arnold a new contract to match Madrid's financial offer. While Real Madrid is hopeful, a mid-season transfer seems unlikely, with a summer move being more plausible.
