Jamie Carragher has demanded Real Madrid should pay Liverpool at least $13 million (£10M) in order to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold early, despite Gary Neville and Micah Richards’ derision.

A move to the Bernabeu looks to just be a matter of time now for Alexander-Arnold after he announced he would be leaving Anfield this summer.

Despite being under contract with the Reds until the end of June, he could find himself donning the famous white kit even sooner.

Real has already approached Liverpool about signing Alexander-Arnold early in order for him to play at the Club World Cup in the United States this summer.

According to BBC Sport, Real is considering an offer of around $1.1 million in order for the right-back to be released early from his deal.

To sweeten the deal, it’s also claimed that Real might be willing to pay the wages Liverpool owes to Alexander-Arnold.

You might get criticism, and he’s having to put up with it.

“And then the flip side of that is, okay you’re announcing it now to give Real Madrid the opportunity to maybe sign you for the Club World Cup.

Neville then interjected, asking Carragher: “Would you take the million quid if you were Liverpool?”

Carragher responded: “I think I’d want a lot more than a million quid.”

If Real wants Alexander-Arnold to play in the Club World Cup so much, it can afford to pay Liverpool a bit more, and let's face it, just over $1M isn't going to make much difference to the Reds, whereas $10M would at least feel like a decent return.
