Liverpool has increased the key price to release defender Trent Alexander-Arnold to play for Real Madrid in the FIFA Club World Cup. Arnold, Liverpool’s right full-back, is a player who has decided to sign for Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of this season. However, Real Madrid has to pay money to have him play in the Club World Cup because Liverpool’s agreement with him has not ended by then.
Arnold’s agreement with Liverpool expires at the end of June. If he plays for Real before that, Liverpool had proposed an amount of one or one and a half million as the price for this. However, Liverpool has now increased this amount to five million euros. Spanish media say that Liverpool increased the price because if Real wants Arnold to play at any cost, they will be forced to pay the price Liverpool asks. Real Madrid wants to take Arnold to the Club World Cup because five defenders in their defense line are injured.
According to Real’s estimation, when the tournament starts on the 15th of next month, only a total of three defenders will be fully fit in the club. Therefore, Arnold’s importance has become very significant. In addition to this, the team is also working very hard to buy Benfica’s right-back Carreras. Arnold, who was seen as a successful player at Liverpool, is a player who is good at both defense and attack. He is also good at set-pieces. He is an important player in the plan that has been started to strengthen Real for the coming season.
