Real Madrid are resigning to miss out on long-term target Alphonso Davies, who is reportedly close to agreeing a new contract with Bayern Munich. However, there is more confidence in the case of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is also out of contract at the end of the season.
In a few weeks, Real Madrid can officially offer Alexander-Arnold a pre-contract. Liverpool are desperate to avoid losing the right-back for free and efforts are being made to ensure he signs a new contract as soon as possible.
So far, Liverpool and Alexander-Arnold have been far apart in their contract negotiations. However, reports in England (via Sport) now say that the Premier League chiefs have tabled a new proposal that would see the 26-year-old earn a salary of around £20 million per year – this is significantly more than he currently earns. .
It is also likely that this would be more than Real Madrid would offer, with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham currently earning less. However, club bosses may decide it is worth breaking the bank on wages, especially as they would save on a transfer fee.
