Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a €1 million offer to Liverpool in a bid to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold to Spain ahead of schedule.

The 26-year-old right-back recently confirmed that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season upon the expiry of his contract on June 30, with Real Madrid widely reported as his next destination. But with Los Blancos preparing for a busy summer that includes the FIFA Club World Cup, they want him in sooner.

Real Madrid Want Alexander-Arnold Before Club World Cup

According to BBC Sport, Real Madrid are aiming to secure Alexander-Arnold’s services by mid-June, ahead of the Club World Cup’s kickoff. FIFA has approved a short transfer window from June 1 to June 10, specifically for clubs to register players ahead of the competition.

To make this happen, Real Madrid are considering offering €1 million (£850,000) to Liverpool as compensation for releasing Alexander-Arnold before his contract officially ends. In addition, the Spanish giants would cover the player’s wages for the early period.

Talks Already Underway Between the Clubs

The negotiations between Real Madrid and Liverpool are said to be proceeding amicably, with both clubs reportedly optimistic about reaching a mutual agreement. While the sum may seem nominal for a player of Alexander-Arnold’s caliber, it serves more as a gesture to smooth the transition and adhere to protocol.

Should the deal go through, Alexander-Arnold could join Real Madrid as early as next month, allowing him to settle in before the Club World Cup and potentially play a crucial role for the Spanish champions.

Why Real Madrid Need Him Now

With Dani Carvajal recovering from a long-term ACL injury and Lucas Vázquez’s form proving inconsistent, Real Madrid see Alexander-Arnold as a vital reinforcement for their backline.

His vision, passing range, and ability to control tempo from the flanks could give Real Madrid a creative edge in the tournament and beyond—especially in a high-stakes global competition like the Club World Cup.

One Step Closer to Bernabéu Debut

For fans, this news all but confirms what’s been long speculated—Trent Alexander-Arnold in a Real Madrid shirt is no longer a matter of if, but when. With Real pushing for a summer of strategic reinforcements, this early move could signal a new era for both club and player.
