Trent Alexander-Arnold might accept a Real Madrid contract offer that would force him to accept a pay cut from his current Liverpool contract, according to Spanish media.
According to Spanish rumors, Trent Alexander-Arnold may be facing a pay cut at Real Madrid given the terms of the contract Los Blancos may offer him.
The Liverpool vice captain’s contract is about to expire, so his future is still uncertain, but Anfield supporters are growing more and more worried that he will move to the Bernabeu in the summer.
Alexander-Arnold’s current contract will expire at the end of the current campaign, and he will have the chance to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club in January. It appears more likely that Real Madrid will wait to sign him for free in the summer, despite some speculations suggesting that they may try to sign him during the upcoming transfer window due to their injury crisis.
Liverpool needs to act quickly in order to sign Alexander-Arnold to a new contract before he is able to agree to a deal with the Spanish superpower. According to Cadena SER, Real Madrid has already outlined the terms of the contract that will be offered to the defender.
The Spanish daily claims that the 26-year-old, who has refused to sign a new contract at Anfield, is anticipated to be offered a four-year deal at Madrid. According to sources, Alexander-Arnold will receive remuneration at the second tier of the club’s salary structure. The details of his compensation at the Bernabeu have also been made public.
He would fall below players like Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, who are expected to earn about $10.6 million (£8.3 million/€10 million) annually. Bellingham is said to be crucial in assisting Alexander-Arnold in acclimating to life at Real Madrid, and the latter has reportedly been marketing life in the Spanish capital to his close friend.
According to Spotrac, Alexander-Arnold currently makes about $11.9 million (£9.36 million/€11.2 million) at Liverpool; consequently, he may need to accept a pay cut in order to move to the Bernabeu.
Since Dani Carvajal won’t be ready until at least October of next year, Alexander-Arnold may have the chance to grab the right-back position if he signs with the Spanish powerhouses in the summer. The England international is presently battling his own injury problems and is running out of time to play Real Madrid in the Champions League after suffering a hamstring injury that forced him to exit the game against Aston Villa.
