"Priority one, two, and three": Romano confident Real Madrid won't back down on Trent transfer
The ongoing transfer saga involving Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential move from Liverpool to Real Madrid remains a hot topic. However, Fabrizio Romano has clarified that rumors of a January transfer are nothing more than speculation.
Details: The well-known insider stated that a winter move is highly unlikely, as Liverpool are focused on extending Trent’s contract. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have made it clear that they are determined to secure the defender, but only in the summer transfer window.
Quote: “Since December, we’ve expected nothing to happen in January. I don’t expect any move for Trent. Real Madrid tried to approach Liverpool at the start of the window, but they quickly understood this isn’t the time to negotiate—£20, £25, £30 million won’t do.
Liverpool want to keep Trent and will try to extend his contract by the end of the season while they still have the chance. Liverpool will keep trying and trying. At the same time, I repeat, Trent is Real Madrid’s priority one, two, and three for the summer transfer window,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.
