Liverpool Open to Letting Trent Leave Early – But There's a Price Tag for Real Madrid

Real Madrid are eager to include Liverpool right back Trent Alexander Arnold in their squad for the Club World cup next month but the move hinges on Liverpool’s consent according to AS.

Alexander Arnold’s contract with the Reds expires on 30 Jun while the Club World cup in the United States kicks off on 14 Jun, meaning he won’t be eligible for Madrid unless deal's struck beforehand.

A Price Tag for an Early Farewell

Liverpool're reportedly open to letting the england international leave few days early but only for the right price. The proposed solution involves "financial settlement" potentially including:

• Arnold waiving his June salary estimated at 900000 euro
• Real Madrid paying Liverpool between 1.5M euro & 2M euro for his early release

FIFA’s Special Transfer Window

To facilitate such transitions, FIFA will open exceptional transfer window from 1 Jun to 10 Jun, ahead of the Club World cup. A 2nd brief window will run 27 Jun to 3 Jul.

Madrid’s Defensive Dilemma

While Dani Carvajal's expected to return in time for the tournament, Madrid remain cautious about his form after a long injury layoff.

Alexander Arnold, in contrast, is fully fit and fresh off securing the PL title with Liverpool , making him ideal reinforcement.

If all parties reach agreement, the Englishman could make his Real Madrid debut on the global stage.
