Two clubs that might attract Trent Alexander-Arnold away from Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been persistently linked with Real Madrid, has also caught the attention of at least two other major clubs in Europe.

Reports from England indicate that both Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona are interested in acquiring him.

Real Madrid isn’t the only club eyeing the England full-back. Should he decide to make a move, Los Blancos will have to contend with two of the continent’s top teams: Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona, as noted by talkSPORT.

It is not really surprising that these clubs have started to position themselves. It is rare that the opportunity to sign a player of this calibre without having to pay a euro in transfer fees arises.

The 26-year-old defender’s contract with Liverpool expires on 30 June and he has not shown, for now, excessive interest in extending it.

For Real Madrid, the emergence of these rivals is unfortunate, as it complicates negotiations with a player who once considered Barcelona among his favorite clubs.

Barça and Liverpool: Shared Values and a Potential Winter Move

“I would say that my other favorite team is Barcelona. I feel that Barça share the same values and beliefs as Liverpool. They prioritize developing players from their youth academy… I grew up watching Messi and that special Barcelona team with Iniesta, Xavi, Henry, Eto’o” he stated in 2021.

Perhaps the fact that they are planning to make a move in January could work in favor of Los Blancos.

If Liverpool cannot make progress on a renewal, they may be compelled to let him go during the winter transfer window to secure some financial compensation. This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on.
