Real Madrid Still Have not Made a Move for Trent Alexander Arnold

Liverpool star's early exit stalled as Real delays formal offer ahead of Club World Cup

🔥 What’s the Hold-Up, Madrid?

Trent Alexander-Arnold might be heading to Real Madrid this summer — but don’t get too excited yet.

Despite publicly announcing his Liverpool exit, Real Madrid has NOT submitted a formal offer to secure him early for FIFA’s newly-expanded Club World Cup in the U.S. this June.

🗓️ His contract expires June 30, but Madrid wants him now to feature in group matches starting June 18.
So far? Just talks. No paperwork. No deal.

🇪🇸 Madrid Wants Him — But Wants a Freebie 

Real’s strategy? Let the contract run out and scoop Trent up for free in time for the knockout rounds.

💬 'You’ll pay him in June to do nothing anyway.'
That’s the rumored line Madrid is pushing to Liverpool — suggesting they'd be saving wages by letting him go now.

But Liverpool's response? Make an offer or wait.

🧾 Inside the GENIUS FIFA Loophole

Even if Trent isn’t released in time for Madrid’s June 18 opener vs Al Hilal, there’s a twist:

📌 FIFA added a mid-tournament registration window
📅 By June 30, Trent becomes a free agent
✅ Real can legally add him mid-tournament for knockout matches

🗣️ The Anfield Fallout: Booed by His Own Fans

In Sunday’s 2–2 draw against Arsenal, Trent returned to the pitch... and was met with boos from the Anfield crowd.

🔴 Former Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was shocked:

“I don’t believe any player who’s won trophies in red should ever be booed.”

Even with a legendary career, the exit wounds run deep.

🧠 Spotlight’s Take

Trent’s story is about more than football. It’s about timing, loyalty, and the brutal business of the sport.
Madrid sees strategy. Liverpool wants respect.
And the fans? Caught in the middle of a player who once symbolized the club’s future — now being treated like the past.

Is Madrid being smart or shady?
Should Liverpool let Trent go early or stand firm?
