The turn of the year has opened up the opportunity for three of Liverpool’s biggest stars to discuss potential free transfers. Real Madrid appears to be on the cards for one of them, namely Trent Alexander-Arnold, as suggested by the bookies.
Below are the latest betting odds for the Liverpool star's next club at the time of this post.
Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are in the final six months of their current Liverpool contracts. However, only one of them is now on the receiving end of directed frustration from the Reds faithful.
The encounter with Manchester United was the first game Alexander-Arnold played since Real Madrid stepped up their pursuit of the defender, and it’s safe to say it was a performance that suggested the noise may have been playing with his head.
He has done the least to assure Liverpool fans of his intentions to stay at Anfield and a formal approach by Real Madrid says he may be open to a move to the Spanish capital.
Bet365 currently has the scouser priced at 4/9 to be playing for Los Blancos after the summer window. Indeed, Liverpool fans’ fears are tipped to come to fruition with their vice-captain looking increasingly likely to make the switch to the Spanish capital.
Whatever the case, Liverpool supporters will be hoping the saga is finalised sooner rather than later, so performances like the one against the Red Devils don’t arise often, as the defender’s situation could prove to be a bigger threat to the Reds’ season than any rival club.
Currently, the Reds are the favourites to win the Premier League thanks to a decent gap at the top. Furthermore, Arne Slot will surely be eyeing up the Champions League title as well, for which they are also the odds favourites.
