Trent Alexander-Arnold looks to be on his way to Real Madrid(Image: Getty Images)

Liverpool could bank over £1.5m should they bow to Real Madrid’s Trent Alexander-Arnold request.

The defender announced his Anfield exit on Monday morning, bringing to an end a glittering career on Merseyside.

Alexander-Arnold will leave for nothing at the end of his contract and despite having not announced his next career move, he is widely expected to seal a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.



According to Sky Sports, Real have already contacted Liverpool about signing Alexander-Arnold to ensure he can play at this summer’s Club World Cup.

Their opening game comes against Saudi side Al-Hilal on 18 June - before the defender’s contract expires.

And given Liverpool would be saving around £800k on the defender’s wages, it could potentially see Arne Slot’s side bank around £1.6m should they agree to Real’s terms.

Should that go through, Alexander-Arnold will put pen to paper on a six-year deal in Spain.

Away from Alexander-Arnold’s move, Real Madrid have been embroiled in controversy regarding their participation in the Club World Cup.

Carlo Ancelotti - who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season - previously announced that his side would not play.
