Fabrizio Romano Reveals Real Madrid’s Internal Stance as Trent Stays ‘Top Priority’
Real Madrid Still Pushing Hard for Trent Alexander-Arnold as Contract Decision Looms
A full year has passed since Real Madrid’s interest in Trent Alexander-Arnold first emerged, and the Liverpool vice-captain remains a top target for the reigning Champions League holders.
On Wednesday, Paul Joyce of The Times reported that Los Blancos have already made an offer to the 26-year-old, whose current contract at Anfield expires in just over three months.
As the saga nears its conclusion, Madrid remain relentless in their pursuit of the Reds’ No. 66.
Inside Real Madrid’s Pursuit of Trent
While Real Madrid secured a dramatic penalty shootout win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night, Fabrizio Romano shed light on their ongoing efforts to sign Trent.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano made it clear how highly Madrid rate the Liverpool star:
> “Real Madrid are absolutely convinced about signing Trent Alexander-Arnold. They see him as a perfect addition and have already discussed internally how much they are willing to offer him in terms of salary.
> “Remember what I always say—Trent is option 1, 2, 3, and even 4 and 5 for Madrid at right-back. They are determined to go all out for him. However, Liverpool will fight until the end to extend his contract.”
> “Madrid, though, remain very confident. People at the club truly believe Trent will be playing for them next season, and that feeling hasn’t changed at all in the past 24 hours.”
Will Trent See Real Madrid as His Best Chance at More Champions League Glory?
Liverpool fans fearing Trent’s departure wouldn’t have been comforted by the events of the past week.
While the Reds crashed out of the Champions League to PSG—losing on penalties with Trent forced off injured—Real Madrid found yet another way to escape elimination, controversially defeating their city rivals in a dramatic shootout.
Los Blancos have built an unrivaled dynasty in the competition, winning six of the last 11 Champions League titles and 15 overall. The way they continually find a way to advance suggests they could be lifting the trophy once again this season.
Liverpool Must Move Fast to Convince Trent to Stay
With Madrid pushing hard, Trent could start considering whether his best chance at winning the Champions League again lies in Spain rather than at Anfield.
However, Liverpool are in pole position to win the Premier League this season, which could play a key role in his decision.
One thing is clear—when Real Madrid set their sights on a player, they rarely give up. If FSG want to keep their vice-captain beyond this summer, they must act fast to convince him that his future belongs at his boyhood club.
