Real Madrid-bound Trent Alexander-Arnold could yet fetch a seven-figure fee when he leaves Liverpool, it has been claimed.

The right-back is out of contract in the summer, allowing him to leave on a free at the end of June, but the Spanish giants could stump up a tidy sum to bring the deal forward.

Alexander-Arnold has agreed terms over a Real Madrid switch after lengthy negotiations, according to reports over the continent.



The changes allowed Club World Cup participants to agree to an 'exceptional' transfer window for the tournament, allowing players to join competing clubs in time for the tournament.

Those rules would also allow out-of-contract players to join before June 30, though it remains to be seen whether Liverpool would free up Alexander-Arnold to leave for nothing before then.

The defender, who is currently sidelined with an injury sustained in the Champions League exit against Paris Saint-Germain, is due to play his final Liverpool game on May 25 against Crystal Palace.

Alexander-Arnold isn't the only player who could exit his contract ahead of time.

The Italy international would be at risk of forfeiting that bonus if he leaves before June 30, and further talks are expected with Arsenal's incoming new sporting director.

Real Madrid qualified for the Club World Cup thanks to their Champions League triumph in 2022.

The Premier League has two representatives in the tournament, with Chelsea and Manchester City qualifying by virtue of their own Champions League wins in 2021 and 2023 respectively.

One of Chelsea's initial group stage opponents, Club Leon, have been pulled out of the tournament due to multi-club ownership considerations.
