Liverpool fans erupt at ‘ridiculous’ £400k-a-week Trent Alexander-Arnold deal news
Liverpool fans have taken to social media after an update on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation amid ongoing speculation linking him with Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold has missed Liverpool’s last two matches due to injury, watching from the sidelines as his team secured a win over Tottenham but suffered a shock FA Cup exit to Plymouth Argyle.
With only a few months remaining on his current deal, his future remains uncertain, with persistent rumours of a potential move away from Anfield.
Football Insider recently reported that Liverpool have yet to make significant progress in contract negotiations with Alexander-Arnold, as well as with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
Fans reacted after Mike McGrath of the Daily Telegraph claimed that Real Madrid would “expect to land” a deal worth £400,000 a week if they can convince the right-back to join.
Arne Slot has Conor Bradley waiting to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold
If Liverpool were to match Madrid’s reported £400,000-a-week offer for their right-back, it would shatter the club’s wage structure. With Salah and Van Dijk also seeking new deals, retaining all three could become a major financial burden.
They have been urged not to sign a replacement if Alexander-Arnold leaves, with Liverpool told to turn to Conor Bradley as the alternative.
Bradley has impressed whenever given the chance, with his standout performance against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup drawing widespread praise.
Football Insider previously reported that Alexander-Arnold has yet to make a final decision on his Liverpool future, despite Real Madrid’s strong interest.
However, with the prospect of moving to the Spanish giants and to join his Jude Bellingham, a move could be on the horizon.
Liverpool may have to bid farewell to Trent Alexander-Arnold
Alexander-Arnold remains a key figure in Slot’s side, featuring in 31 matches across all competitions, including 22 Premier League appearances. His attacking contributions from right-back have also been impressive, with two goals and seven assists.
However, persistent links to Real Madrid and his expiring contract have left fans questioning his long-term future at Anfield.
Supporters reacted to the reported £400,000-a-week deal from Madrid, with some calling it “ridiculous” and insisting there is “not a chance” Liverpool would match it. One fan bluntly stated “he can go if he wants that much.”
