Real Madrid remained optimistic about an agreement for Trent Alexander-Arnold to arrive in the summer. Current Liverpool side have upped the stakes with their latest bid, and are willing to pay the 26-year-old €93 million over five seasons.
This is according to The Mirror in England, as reported by Marcowho say that Liverpool are desperate to keep Alexander-Arnold, but feel that with this offer, they can no longer persuade. In any case, Alexander-Arnold earned similar to Real Madrid: his salary to Liverpool would be around 18.6 million euros per season, while the Blancos are willing to give 18.72 million euros per year.
Real Madrid have approached Liverpool for a move in the January transfer window, but these talks have been dismissed out of hand by the Merseyside club as they try to convince Alexander-Arnold to stay at the club. It remains to be seen whether they will change that position if they give up hope of keeping Alexander-Arnold beyond the summer, with Real Madrid keen to bolster the right-back position due to Dani Carvajal's season-ending injury.
