Liverpool’s enormous final contract offer to Alexander-Arnold to fight Real Madrid interest

Liverpool aren’t giving up on Trent Alexander-Arnold. The latest move by the Reds, as reported by British newspaper the Mirror, is an astronomical contract renewal offer aimed at definitively convincing their homegrown right-back to stay.

The proposed extension is for five seasons and includes a total salary of $100 million, which breaks down to $20 million annually. These figures are comparable to what Real Madrid, the other major contender for the player, is reportedly willing to offer.

Why Real Madrid’s offer remains more attractive for Alexander-Arnold

The significant difference is that if Alexander-Arnold accepts Real Madrid’s offer, it would include a signing bonus directly for him, tipping the scales in favor of the Spanish club.

If he accepts Liverpool’s offer of £300,000 (just under $373,000) per week, he would become the second-highest-paid player on the team, behind Mohamed Salah and ahead of other key players like Virgil van Dijk.

This is Liverpool’s final attempt to retain the player, who was born and raised in the city and has spent his entire career with the club, a factor considered crucial for his potential decision to stay.

Alexander-Arnold’s stellar season and the fact that his contract expires on June 30 have attracted Real Madrid’s interest. However, Liverpool remain hopeful they can convince him to continue in the Premier League.
