Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool for cheap

Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool for less than £1m.

According to Marca , Real Madrid want to sign the England defender before the FIFA Club World Cup starts. Liverpool are said to be willing to accept an offer of around £850,000 to release him early, saving a month's wages.

The Anfield hierarchy had hoped Alexander-Arnold would follow in the footsteps of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk in signing a new contract, but appear to have accepted the reality that they will lose one of their finest academy products.

Alexander-Arnold's current contract expires on June 30, but Real Madrid are looking to complete all procedures early, taking advantage of the two special transfer windows of the FIFA Club World Cup (June 1-10 and June 27-July 3) to strengthen their squad.

Some Liverpool fans have expressed disappointment at the club losing their key defender for such a low fee. Alexander-Arnold's departure leaves a huge void in the Liverpool squad, as he is one of the most unique players in modern football.

Alexander-Arnold's ability to launch attacks from right-back is rare. Young talent Conor Bradley could become an alternative for coach Arne Slot in this position, but the "Reds" will need to add at least one or two other names in defense or midfield.
