- Spanish club want to bring forward right-back’s transfer
- Madrid play at tournament before his contract ends
Real Madrid have approached Liverpool in an attempt to bring forward the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold so that he is available to play in the Club World Cup, which starts on 14 June in the United States. The right-back is set to join the Spanish side when his contract expires at the end of June but Madrid are eager to take him earlier.
Any agreement would lead to Liverpool receiving a fee. Fifa has implemented a two-window summer to benefit those playing at the Club World Cup, with the first lasting from 1 to 10 June and the window reopening on 16 June. Madrid’s first fixture is on 18 June against Al-Hilal at the Hard Rock Cafe in Miami.
