Liverpool has declined Real Madrid’s proposal to sign right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold during the January transfer window. According to reliable reports, the Merseyside club has refused to entertain the idea of a permanent transfer at this stage.
Real Madrid, facing a defensive crisis due to injuries, was reportedly interested in securing the England international at a reduced fee. With Alexander-Arnold's contract set to expire at the end of the season, the Spanish club had hoped to capitalize on the situation. However, Liverpool has remained firm in its decision.
The urgency for Real Madrid stems from the long-term injury to Dani Carvajal and inconsistent performances from Lucas Vázquez. Despite these challenges, Liverpool has shown no willingness to part ways with one of their key players mid-season.
While discussions between Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid have been rumored, Liverpool is also actively negotiating a contract extension to secure the player’s future at Anfield. As of now, there are no indications of an imminent departure, and the club remains focused on its ongoing campaigns in the Premier League and Champions League.
Alexander-Arnold has been in fine form this season, recently scoring a crucial goal against West Ham. His performance under manager Arne Slot continues to highlight his importance to Liverpool’s ambitions. Meanwhile, the speculation surrounding his future persists, with Spanish outlets suggesting a potential summer move.
For now, Alexander-Arnold remains a Liverpool player, with the club’s immediate attention turning to their upcoming match against Manchester United on January 5.
