BIG 🎰Vini’s wonderful summer in Brazil before joining the team
In a £55 million transaction, Liverpool may unwittingly assist Real Madrid in their pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold
Real Sociedad winger Kubo has surfaced as a rumoured target for the Reds, who have not yet signed a player under new manager Arne Slot.According to Sports Nippon, a Japanese news outlet, talks are reportedly “in the final stages” and a transfer cost of €60 million (£50 million) has been agreed upon.
According to Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail, these rumors are “premature” because Liverpool is waiting to start pursuing transfers.
According to talkSPORT, Madrid are interested in signing Alexander-Arnold, but completing a deal for Kubo might help a vital exit.
Sociedad paid €6 million [£5 million] for half of the rights to the Japan international Kubo in 2022, after he departed Madrid, according to The Athletic.So, Madrid can re-sign him for 50% of the sale price or 50% of Sociedad’s sale profit.
There may be a financial incentive for Carlo Ancelotti’s squad to sign Alexander-Arnold.
This summer, the right back will be a free agent since he is in the last year of his contract with Liverpool.
It is unclear if Liverpool would consider trading for their academy graduate, as there has been no discussion of a new contract thus far.Alexander-Arnold has appeared in 310 games for Liverpool in all competitions, contributing to 81 assists and scoring 19 goals.
While playing for the club, he won numerous trophies, including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup, Club World Cup, and Community Shield.He would be joining a team that appears poised to dominate European football in the next years if the 25-year-old were to finalize a transfer to Madrid.
After Kylian Mbappe’s surprise free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, the Spanish giants revealed him to a sold-out Santiago Bernabeu.
His arrival has only strengthened Madrid’s already formidable attacking core, which includes Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.One of their main talents is Jude Bellingham, who is also good friends with Alexander-Arnold from their time playing for England at Euro 2024.
