English Legend Declares: Alexander-Arnold Is Set to Join Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid as a free agent in the summer of 2025 is becoming more than just speculation, with many already treating it as a done deal.

Recent rumors suggest that Real Madrid has made the Liverpool right-back their top target for the 2025 summer transfer window. The injury to Dani Carvajal has only heightened the urgency for Madrid to find a replacement, with Alexander-Arnold at the center of the discussion. Although the decision on Carvajal’s successor remains open, the Liverpool star continues to be linked with a move to the Spanish capital.

The buzz surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s future has even prompted comments from former English football legend Tim Sherwood, who believes the defender’s time at Anfield is coming to an end. “I think Trent is gone,” Sherwood bluntly stated, suggesting that Alexander-Arnold and his camp will reject any contract renewal offers from Liverpool. The reason? A potential move to Real Madrid.

No Turning Back

Sherwood, a former Tottenham manager, argues that “when Real Madrid comes calling… he’s won everything with Liverpool, but there’s no chance of keeping him now.” According to Sherwood, Alexander-Arnold’s desire for new challenges and ambitions will likely lead him to Madrid, where he can continue to grow his career.

Real Madrid’s ability to consistently compete for titles appears to be a key factor in Trent’s decision to leave Liverpool. After falling out of the Champions League race, Liverpool’s recent decline may push Alexander-Arnold to seek a fresh start at the Santiago Bernabéu, where he could regain his status as one of Europe’s top defenders.
