Spanish outlet AS, via Sport Witness, reports that Real Madrid have tabled a formal bid of £509,000 (€600,000) in hopes of securing Alexander-Arnold’s services ahead of the Club World Cup.
If accepted, the offer would see Liverpool’s vice-captain depart Anfield before the expiration of his current contract at the end of June — marking a premature end to his time with his boyhood club.
However, Liverpool’s new sporting director, Richard Hughes, is reportedly standing firm, valuing the England international at £849,000 (€1 million).
Should the deal go through, it would bring a bittersweet close to what has been a remarkable Reds career.
