Report: Liverpool have made plans to sign a £21m player to become their new right-back if Alexander-Arnold moves to Real Madrid.

Liverpool has chosen a £21m player to take over as their new right-back in the event that Alexander-Arnold moves to Real Madrid.

If Alexander-Arnold makes the move to Real Madrid, Liverpool will have a new right-back in the form of a £21m player.

Liverpool is making contingency plans in case Trent Alexander-Arnold decides to join Real Madrid.

The club is facing the possibility of Alexander-Arnold having only one year left on his contract.

While Liverpool seems composed about the situation, there is still concern until a new contract is agreed upon.

Real Madrid’s interest in Alexander-Arnold, coupled with his close relationship with Jude Bellingham, is a cause for Liverpool to be cautious.

However, if the worst-case scenario unfolds and the 25-year-old departs Anfield, Liverpool is said to have identified a £21m player as his replacement.

Liverpool is strategizing for Lutsharel Geertruida

Alexander-Arnold is currently enjoying his holiday following England’s Euro 2024 final appearance.

Liverpool fans are hopeful that contract negotiations will intensify once he returns to the AXA Training Centre in early August.

Trent has a strong bond with Jurgen Klopp, having spent his entire senior career under the former Liverpool manager.

However, reports suggest that Alexander-Arnold is eager to work with Arne Slot and is looking forward to the opportunity.

According to Caught Offside, Liverpool’s No.66 is content with Slot and has initiated discussions with the club regarding a new contract.

Liverpool is reportedly the priority for Alexander-Arnold, with Real Madrid showing interest. There is a belief that a new contract will be agreed upon soon.

Real Madrid has not made any moves to sign the vice-captain, despite being mentioned as a potential destination if he leaves Liverpool.

If negotiations with Alexander-Arnold fall through, Liverpool may turn to Feyenoord’s Geertruida as a replacement.

Geertruida has been a target for Liverpool, especially since Slot took over as head coach.

Geertruida is a highly adaptable player who could provide valuable assistance to Liverpool in various positions.

If Liverpool were to sell Alexander-Arnold, acquiring Geertruida for around £21m would be a cost-effective option.

Slot seems to have a strong interest in the Feyenoord player and may have a strategy in place for his integration into the Liverpool squad.

However, it’s worth noting that Conor Bradley is also a viable option and wouldn’t require any transfer fee.

Hopefully, Liverpool won’t need to resort to a backup plan and Alexander-Arnold will commit to the club long-term.
