As the January transfer window draws near, the futures of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool remain uncertain, with all three players facing contract situations that could see them leave on a free transfer at the end of the season. While no breakthroughs have been made on their contracts, there are growing reports about Alexander-Arnold’s future. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool could entertain an offer of around €30 million (approximately £25 million) for the right-back.
With less than three weeks until the window opens, Liverpool faces the risk of losing all three stars for nothing in the summer. This situation could encourage them to consider selling Alexander-Arnold now, especially with the possibility of foreign clubs negotiating pre-contract agreements for him. Real Madrid is reportedly eyeing the player, particularly given Dani Carvajal’s injury and their struggles to find a suitable replacement in their current squad. Alexander-Arnold’s performances have caught the attention of the Spanish giants, who may look to add him to their ranks.
In a recent interview with Melissa Reddy, Alexander-Arnold discussed his contract situation, stating that the matter would not be settled publicly, which only adds to the mystery surrounding his future at Anfield. His current contract runs through 2025, and as the January transfer window approaches, speculation about his long-term future continues to build.
While it remains unclear if Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool in the near future, the club faces a difficult decision in the coming months. If they fail to reach a new agreement with the player, they will need to weigh the option of either selling him now for a fee or allowing him to depart on a free transfer in 2025.
