Liverpool could ultimately take an important hit in their plans to meet the Premier League profit and sustainability rules if Trent Alexander-Arnold would leave for nothing
Compliance with Liverpool about the prime minister League's rules can be endangered if Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid leaves for a free transfer.
Premier League clubs are limited by profit and sustainability rules (PSR), which prevent them from registering losses of more than £ 105 million for three years, a figure that falls by £ 22 million for every season spent outside the top flight. The RODs were declared conformity earlier this year, which avoided fines such as point deduction or financial fines. Liverpool wanted to stay within the spending regulations, started the new year by making a substantial profit in the January transfer window.
They sold fabio carvalho to brentford for £ 27.5m, netting a £ 22.5m profit on the compensation fee Paid Fulham in 2022, and Sepp van den Berg for £ 25m, who was signed from Pec Zwolle for just £ 1.3m in a strong position for tea put leverpool Period, but they could miss out on a significant windfall if Alexander-Arnold Moves to Real Madrid this summer.
Dave Powell, main activities of football writer for REACH PLC, suggests that the club could have demanded up to £ 100 million for the right back. Instead, Liverpool saves only around £ 10 million on their annual wage account, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The football financing guru has received the alarm for Liverpool, warning that the potential relocation of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid could leave a gaping hole in the line-up of the Reds.
“If Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool this summer, then there is a pretty large void for the Reds to fill, and one that has not had the advantage of a large piece of incoming funds of a sale to help,” Powell said.
The expert emphasized the importance of the full-back and notes: “After all, he is one of the world's best in his position, has a unique skills that has been so instrumental in the success of Liverpool, and he is 26, which means that he has a lot left over to travel and in his Prime.
On the financial side of things, Powell added: “But by using the most reported figures, amounts of around £ 180,000 to £ 200,000 a week seem to be in the margin for his weekly wage. That would bring him about the £ 10 million for the year.”
He also pointed to the likely strategy of FSG Post-Alexander-Arnold and said: “Given the way in which Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group traditionally operate on the market, it is likely that they will look for someone a little younger to come in and to fill that emptiness, and that will probably be considerably good.”
The situation is further complicated by the nature of the player's departure, as Powell explained: “However, Alexander-Arnold would leave for a free transfer, and be 26 and move to a club abroad mean that Liverpool will not receive any compensation for his services, despite the fact that she was a new deal and he was in the RED system since he was a child.
“If there had been two or three years in his deal, the club would have looked at a probably £ 80 million to £ 100 million price tag, and that would have been pure profit given that he had no book value. But would they want to sell him? I wouldn't claim.
“The club lost the leverage by allowing it to go through it in its last year and to the point where other clubs could speak to him, but what is often overlooked in these things is the personal preference of the players themselves. If the wish of Alexander-Arnold had been to test the market and see if he wanted a movement, then it is more options and it is financially.
“A lot has happened behind closed doors that we do not know, and it is rumor and suspicions at the moment. But for Liverpool, while they may be able to shave £ 2 million or £ 3 million an annual salary for a right back that can eventually rise to be the man, they will still see the reality that such players are probably £ 35million.
“That is a price tag that would add amortized costs to the top of £ 10 million a year. Liverpool has the financial flexibility to maneuver in the summer, and they will have already made progress this a potential result for the club.
“However, replacing Alexander-Arnold will not be cheap, and clubs know that Liverpool has a real requirement for this summer and they will feel the need to act. That means that the price can be higher, since clubs know that they have pressure, necessity and the money to close a deal.”
