Fabrizio Romano has given Liverpool followers a recent replace on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s state of affairs amid stories from Spain that the participant needs to affix Actual Madrid.
The Reds’ vice-captain has been linked with the Champions League holders for many of 2024, and with solely six months remaining on his present contract at Anfield, the prospect of him swapping Merseyside for the Spanish capital appears believable.
On Saturday morning, Spanish outlet Marca claimed that the 26-year-old is eager to affix Carlo Ancelotti’s aspect and has knowledgeable LFC bosses of these obvious needs, though Liverpool Echo journalist Theo Squires subsequently reported that the right-back hasn’t communicated any want to signal for Los Blancos.
Romano shares Trent replace
In an replace on his eponymous YouTube channel this night, Romano outlined that Trent received’t be leaving the Reds subsequent month and, regardless of the continuing and long-standing curiosity from Actual Madrid, there’s been no direct dialogue between them and the participant.
The switch guru stated: “Trent shouldn’t be a subject for January. January switch window shouldn’t be Trent switch window. Trent will end the season at Liverpool for positive. His full focus is on Liverpool. Liverpool are doing improbable and Trent is doing improbable, so all the things is beneath management for the summer time.
“Actual Madrid need Trent. Actual Madrid are engaged on a deal for Trent. Actual Madrid will push to signal Trent. Actual Madrid are there since March. Not in the present day, not yesterday, not one month in the past – March.
“He’s a high goal for Actual Madrid, however what I can let you know in the meanwhile is that nothing is agreed. Nothing is finished. Nothing has been communicated, so Liverpool are nonetheless within the combine, nonetheless speaking to the participant, ready to see how this dialog will go on Liverpool’s aspect and Actual Madrid’s aspect.
“Now we’re about to enter into January, and from January, Actual Madrid are formally allowed to speak to the participant and see what occurs, with Trent being a high goal, however nothing has been communicated but.”
Trent saga exhibits no signal of being resolved quickly
The number of stories we’ve seen over the previous 24 hours sums up what a circus switch rumours can typically be, significantly when it entails a high-profile participant reminiscent of Trent.
With so many seemingly contradictory updates, it may be tough to establish simply which model of occasions is correct, or even when there’s a component of reality throughout numerous sources.
Nevertheless, Romano is broadly thought to be one of the trusted journalists within the enterprise, so when he says that there hasn’t been any settlement between the Liverpool vice-captain and Actual Madrid, we will in all probability take it as pretty on the cash.
We don’t doubt that Los Blancos will proceed making an attempt their greatest to snare Trent, and that the Anfield hierarchy will concurrently use all of their persuasive energy to persuade him to stay along with his boyhood membership.
This seemingly interminable saga seems to be set to rumble on proper all through January, and all we will do as LFC followers is hope and pray that he resists the lure of the Bernabeu.
