According to Caught Offside, Barcelona and Real Madrid are among the European heavyweights interested in signing Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold. Both Spanish clubs are keen to bolster their backline following the injuries that have plagued their defense and now have the 26-year-old on their transfer radar.
Alexander-Arnold’s contract with Liverpool will expire at the end of the season, and the Merseyside club has not been able to get him to sign an extension. Since getting promoted to the senior team in 2016, Alexander-Arnold has played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s successes in recent years and has also helped to solidify the club’s defensive structure.
While speculations are rife that Liverpool will offer the England defender a new deal, the player is now being courted by several top clubs in Europe, with Barcelona and Real Madrid said to be hot on his heels. The other European clubs that are interested in Arnold include reigning Premier League champions Manchester City and Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

As per the abovementioned source, Barcelona are prioritizing the signing of Alexander-Arnold as they are looking for a quality right-back to compete with Jules Kounde. For Real Madrid, they see the England defender as a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal, while Manchester City see him as an apt replacement for Kyle Walker, who has suffered a dip in form lately. PSG, on the other hand, are considering Alexander-Arnold as an alternative to Achraf Hakimi.
Amid interest from different European bigwigs, Alexander-Arnold reportedly has a preference for Real Madrid. It remains to be seen which of the clubs will be able to acquire his services at the end of the day. Alexander-Arnold is a product of Liverpool’s academy. Up to date, he has scored 19 goals and provided 85 assists for Liverpool in 327 appearances across competitions.
Liverpool tipped to sign Barcelona midfielder as a replacement for player who could join Real Madrid – Reports
Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong as a replacement for Ryan Gravenberch, who could join Real Madrid in the January transfer window. Gravenberch has been instrumental for the Reds at the base of the midfield so far this season as they are currently at the top of the Premier League table.
According to Fichajes.net, Ryan Gravenberch is at the center of a possible move that could shake up the winter transfer market. Real Madrid are interested in the Dutch defensive midfielder as they see him as the perfect complement to their already stellar midfield.
If Los Blancos are able to secure the signing of Gravenberch, the report claimed it could trigger a domino effect involving Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. While Liverpool consider Gravenberch indispensable to the team, they are not ruling out a potential swoop for the 22-year-old. So, in the event that the deal materializes, the Merseyside club will go for De Jong as a replacement for the No. 6 position.
