News outlets in Spain have been reporting since the end of 2024 that Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.

The transfer has been described as a 'market opportunity that couldn’t be missed,' given the struggles Carlo Ancelotti's side have endured at right-back this season."

The fact that reports of Alexander-Arnold's decision to join Real Madrid initially emerged from Spanish sources offered a glimmer of hope to Liverpool fans for a while.

It has been claimed that Alexander-Arnold has agreed to a five-year deal with the La Liga giants worth over £220,000 per week, and he is ready to end his 20-year association with his boyhood club.

The article confirms that the defender has been in talks with Real Madrid since January this year, when his contract entered its final six months and he became free to talk with clubs outside of England.

Despite months of negotiations with Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold has reportedly now decided that his future lies elsewhere.

The Athletic's David Ornstein has also reported that Real Madrid are doing everything in their power to get a deal over the line.
