Sky reporting that Liverpool have turned down an approach from Real Madrid for Trent.

Am I missing something here? Why are Madrid approaching Liverpool when they can just speak to him directly from tomorrow?

Are they that desperate that they want to pay us some money and get him in January rather than wait few months?

Or is he not playing ball with them so they want to try to make up his mind by getting us to agree a sale?

The mind boggles.

I think BP it's basically madrid saying to trent are u coming for definite r not. And if not they want to know now as they need a rb in asap and can move on. I think they losing patience in the saga and want an answer.
That's how I read it as any reliable source of lfc info says no deal with them agreed.

31 Dec 2024 18:37:03
I think it’s because a free transfer Trent plays for them next season.

If they offer a reduced fee and it goes through Trent is playing for them next weekend.

31 Dec 2024 18:46:07
Real Madrid approach Liverpool to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold. No offer made but #RMFC willing to pay for 26yo England int’l. Rebuffed immediately. No figures discussed but #LFC plan to talk with right-back’s camp soon.

31 Dec 2024 18:59:34
I thought you knew it well before @Beckers, the confidence you have shown over the weeks on “how club is secretly working behind the scenes”.

31 Dec 2024 19:02:07
Carra making his feelings on it clear, reckons trents team would have told madrid to bid knowing full well we'd turn it down as to cover him for when he leaves on a free. Also the the title is the most important thing in 2025 not players contracts. What you make of these comments eds?

{Ed001's Note - Carra is an idiot. He talks a lot of ****. He is a true pundit now.}

31 Dec 2024 19:07:01
I think he is off, plain and simple! All the noise coming out of Spain this week has been that Trent has chosen Madrid and now Madrid come in with an offer of sorts…in this instance I don’t think Madrid make that call unless they got all the reassurances they needed from Trent’s camp.

Big question is, do you hold on until Summer and wave him off on a free (possibly as a title winner) or do you sell? I think sell, I don't want him to leave but if he has his heart set on Madrid and is willing to leave while we are top of the Prem and champions league then he is not committed and will play that way! if Trent informed the club that he does want to leave on a free but didn’t want to go now because he wants to leave as a champion then let him stay and fight! It’s all about his attitude, last thing we want is a player performing at 50% to save himself from injury….

31 Dec 2024 18:22:13
If RM have an offer accepted they sign him in January

Longer it goes another club could offer him a better salary - my guess is they are trying to offer a pittance of a transfer fee and probably lower wages than if he goes somewhere on a free.

31 Dec 2024 19:35:53
It’s an absolute disgrace this club has allowed 3 world class players contracts run down this low. Disgrace.

31 Dec 2024 19:38:01
Some of the things I’ve read I’d have my bags packed and be on the sangria as we speak.

31 Dec 2024 19:38:07
We are going for the league and champs league, and are THE team to beat in both. THAT is more important that Trents future.
Real are doing what Real do-Playing a game, and we need to keep our heads down and win the 2 big ones.

2/ 3 of the last seasons we were on for the treble or quad and bottled it, let's not let the Trent/ Real BS undermine a big chance to win the F lot.

31 Dec 2024 19:44:47
I think it is perfectly acceptable if he does go for free as we prey on players' contract situations all the time so we can't complain when it's done to us. I don't think we should freeze him out or fans should be frosty with him. But at the same time, we certainly don't owe him anything. I don't think it's right if he's been in talks with another club and is still vice-captain. I also think the club should continue to be conscious of the game time he wants. If they feel Bradley is ready, we should start phasing him in and TAA out.

I'm not going to elaborate on my opinion thatI think this scenario has been engineered by his team again as it only causes arguments on here but I do believe fans should give him a respectful and amicable send-off. He has done everything above board even if we don't like his career decision. But we have to do what's in the best interests of the club and if that means giving Bradley more experience this season at the expense of TAA then so be it.

31 Dec 2024 20:08:04
Totally unprofessional from lfc and trent as for madrid they can do one. All trent has to do is say i would like to stay but nothing he seems to be reliant on statements on his ambitions to captain the club well he needs to sign a deal and for virgil to leave for that to happen. His silence is deathening and stinks of self centered arrogance. As a young scouse lad he's got enough wealth not to worry about money as for Madrid ballon dor no. England trophies no Liverpool trophies hero yes. He leaves he becomes a nobody.

31 Dec 2024 21:13:05
“No figures discussed but #LFC plan to talk with right-back’s camp soon. ”

Well they’d better hurry those talks up because Madrid can talk to him tomorrow as well.

31 Dec 2024 22:03:26
1) Marca chat absolute rubbish
2) This will play out behind closed doors
3) Trent will want the best deal possible like all players do
4) Everything being reported is speculation, lots attempting to make Trent look like a money grabbing pr*ck

Trent is our player, let’s just see what happens.

31 Dec 2024 22:46:35
Feels a bit Sol Campbell to me.

31 Dec 2024 23:22:08
Smart Business from Madrid, offer low £m, gets player off the market. Gets them a much needed defender. If accepted then player would have no choice as it shows Liverpool aren't serious enough to keep him and if rejected and TAA doesn't like it then gets a pre contract sorted quickly and possibly a tiny bit cheaper for Madrid. If you love a conspiracy, then it would get TAA out of the 'left for free, done us dirty' accusation.

Rubbish about brothers or advisors or Jude is just that, rubbish. Either the club dropped the ball or Trent wants to leave. But no one suffers as the likelihood is any fee would get lost in the shuffle anyway and not be directly added to 'budgets'.

31 Dec 2024 23:30:29
Trent is a Liverpool legend, whatever he decides I wish him well. I am sure that there is a lot to consider and whatever he decides he owes us nothing. I hope he decides to stay though.

01 Jan 2025 01:21:19
Much drama in the way of the most important business.
This could end messily for Trent and the club.

01 Jan 2025 01:48:14
Simple really, f*ck him, he plays not one more game for this club if we have a fit alternative There isn’t a better club in Europe in footballing terms right now, if he wants to leave for a few extra £ per week then he can rot in the reserves for a few months,

01 Jan 2025 04:12:44
@johnyr1970, i am with you. Anyway Real knows Liverpool, Arnold will not agree to Jan move. They just did it out of mischief and also state their position officially "Trent, Real Madrid wants you! "

I think Slot being a clever manager, knows that its better to give game time to Bradley and other players to groom them for next season. We will not get same player as trent, but what we lose in 1 area, we gain in other areas. I can think that havibg a more defensively solid right back means Salah and midfield doesn't need to drop deeper to help out like for Trent case.

01 Jan 2025 07:10:48
You have to be disapointed with Trent how or why he wants to leave this team this club his home town is beyond me. It could be a blessing ok we get a better defensive R. B and become harder to score against we could become better. We actually improved when Coutiniho left. Big shame for me is he has talked secretely to them which means his heads been away since the summer that's down to Bellingham and maybe you just wouldn't want Trent in yer trench if that's what he thinks of us. He is replaceable.

01 Jan 2025 07:51:20
"Leave him on th bench". While we're in the running for 4 trophies. Great idea.
That's why people who get butthurt easily don't makr good managers.

01 Jan 2025 09:04:39
I won’t blame Trent for exploring options elsewhere

From what the Ed’s have stated the club has approached the negotiations with their vice-captain in an absolutely appalling manner - including leaving a proposal on the table and then almost “forgetting” about it for a period of time.

How can you treat your current vice-captain, and maybe future captain, in this manner is beyond me.

The hate isn’t needed, justified, or helpful.

01 Jan 2025 10:25:21
I know the club have made horrendous mistakes with regards the contracts and it looks like it’s going to cost Liverpool big money when Trent leaves. What you say there Paisley is too far fetched even for us.
Trent is tarnishing his legacy with the club he claims to love. I would also try to sell him now if he wants to go. We will win the league and he can win his La Liga which no one will want to see.

01 Jan 2025 10:35:52
For what it’s worth I’d be disappointed with him leaving and I do think it will tarnish his standing, legacy if you will, amongst the fans. I’m sure he won’t lose any sleep on what I think ?! I can only try to relate to how I think I would act in the same situation, being a Liverpool fan, playing for the club I love, possibly being a future captain, challenging for all the trophies in a very good Liverpool side and presumably getting a very competitive salary package. Let’s see how it plays out.

01 Jan 2025 10:45:48
@ Downey “if he has his heart set on Madrid and is willing to leave while we are top of the Prem and champions league then he is not committed and will play that way! ”

But this isn’t the reality of what we’re seeing mate?

I’m fact Trent is playing better than he has been for a long time.

He is playing like he’s committed and playing very well.

I would 100% not sell in January. A small transfer fee is not worth losing him mid season.

01 Jan 2025 11:22:42
The most likely reason behind this is Trent became uncertain of his future whan Klopp left, His mate Bellingham had a good season at Madrid they met up at the euros and Bellingham put a seed in Trents head about life in Madrid and Trents head has been turned at start of season via Bellingham Madrid have been in Trents head and now Trents agents can smell the money. Trent now realises he's cornered Lfc are better than Madrid we could win the prem and even chmps lge but his agent and Madrid won't let go and suddenly his desire to go there is questioned by our success. he's cocked up big time and can't save face he can't concoct a story to save himself from the fact he wanted away and was turned by Madrid and the little goal gesture was his way of saying don't believe what you hear, so why did Madrid make an offer then Mr innocent? that's factual and you are responsible. Your legacy is you are a prat.

{Ed001's Note - so you concoct this nonsense story to have a dig at him, then you call him a prat? Do you know what irony is?}

01 Jan 2025 11:57:22
So Ed01 you might not like it but mr choir boy Trent instigated this yes or no or is football totally woke now?

{Ed001's Note - how has he instigated it? What the hell is woke to do with anything, other than to prove your idiocy when you resort to bizarre claims like that?}

01 Jan 2025 12:09:22
Madrid are not putting it out there yesterday that they want to sign him in January without Trent knowing. Time will tell but it looks calculated to me. The club should put it out here what they have offered him. I hope it’s £300k a week, a decent signing fee and 5 years maybe with a release clause. If he won’t sign it then sell him.

01 Jan 2025 12:22:25
Ed01 what's bizare aboout it Trent can not be slated? So anyone who thinks Trents behaviour is a model for how to renegotiate a contract need look no further than Salah and Vvd, both said they would like to stay all Trents done is make it look like he wants to go to madrid.

{Ed001's Note - he has done nothing of the sort. He has said that he will not be talking about it as it is private between him and the club and out of respect for the club he will not breach that privacy. Nothing he has done makes it look like he wants to go to Madrid. He might very well have decided the time is right to leave, but to suggest he is looking like he wants to go, when he is putting in excellent performances for the team, is just bizarre. It makes no sense.}

01 Jan 2025 12:42:18
Ed001 Why did madrid make an offer? Trying to destabilise him? Agreed he's played well. Regardless of how he conducts himself his ideology on privacy is respectable but the rumours and rumours of rumours can be stopped with a simple statement of i have entered contract negotiations and will update you when there's news. Its important he does this. Privacy or not. If he leaves on a free shame on the club and good luck to him.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know why Madrid have done that, I know they desperately need a right-back now but it is an odd move, unless they are unsure of his choice as well. Maybe it's them saying 'now or never lad'? It is a strange thing to do otherwise.

As for speaking, Salah spoke out and got crucified for doing so. When Virgil answered questions about it, he also got pelters. They can't win. If they talk they get abused for talking about it. If he keeps quiet, he gets abuse for things people dream up in their head. A lot of the issue is that the club were not even bothering to negotiate with him for a long time. It is only recently that they have even begun to make solid actual attempts to get a contract sorted. It might be best he keeps quiet, as I can only imagine how much that would bother him.}

01 Jan 2025 13:35:35
Was there actually an official offer o is it another story from marca?

01 Jan 2025 15:01:23
I don't think there is an offer per se, just that RM approached us asking if we'd be open to selling Trent in Jan, which was immediately rebuffed. Could just be a tactic by RM to destabilise Trent.

Onto Trent, I'm not sure where this narrative that he is behaving poorly is coming from. He was asked about his contract previously and he mentioned that he will be discussing it privately with the club. That should have killed the story there and then until the conclusion to the discussions are made public either by the club or by Trent himself. In my view, he has behaved very professionally and has shown us a lot of respect. To put it into perspective, Mane literally forced his way out of the club and yet, he is more beloved than Trent, something that I can't wrap my head around.

01 Jan 2025 15:43:16
The club have ****ed up the 3 players contracts letting them run down so low.
The 3 players reps would be incredibly naive not to explore their options if nothing else but to force the clubs hand in the situation.
We know from Ed02 that Salahs reps have previously explored other options also.
Why would Madrid bid?
We know they are interested in the player.
We know they have defensive issues.
We know they’re struggling in the CL.
We know the window is open.
If they were successful in their bid it would mean acquiring the player for the remainder of their season.
It would mean that they wouldn’t have to pay a significant signing on fee or at least a much reduced fee.
Trent’s only statement regarding the entire situation has been…
“I have been at the club 20 years now, I have signed four or five contract extensions and none of those have been played out in public – and this one won’t be either. ”
In the meantime there’s a league to be won.

01 Jan 2025 15:52:33
Where are people getting all this bs from? Why are we making things up about our own player? He has not once said he wants to leave, in fact he hasn’t said anything at all. The club have made a real balls up leaving these contract negotiations so late, that is not Trent or Mo or VVD’s fault. Trent prob has better things to do that read stuff on social media, but seriously if he did it would hardly encourage him to stay would it? Can’t believe the conclusions people are jumping to with literally no evidence. We distrust the press all year round until they say our player wants to leave and all of a sudden it’s gospel. People need to get a grip and just be patient.

01 Jan 2025 16:50:37
Stevie got on Ambrovich's yacht and then did not sign for Chelsea to stay at his boyhood club. Until Trent signs for RM he is ours.

01 Jan 2025 16:54:28
He has not once said he wants to stay either. Plus he definitely knew what Madrid were planning yesterday. The club have messed up so badly, you can’t believe how bad they are at their jobs.

01 Jan 2025 17:33:35
Messed up big time mark, Ward and Hughes, what have they done? Wards job to get the contracts dealt with, clearly done nothing there. Hughes is supposed to bring in new talent - alright he only has had one window to do something but what did he do? bugger all! instead he went and got an injury prone has been and a GK we didn't need lol you can't even make this up and then you have some people defending them which is beyond me.

01 Jan 2025 18:40:42
I reckon a Madrid bid could have been invited from Trent’s side just be so if he leaves for nothing they can push the well you had a chance to get money for me narrative. If he isn’t staying he should have been sold last summer. Same with the other two.

01 Jan 2025 19:15:25
I reckon that's it ed1, madrid are saying now r never lad. I think they feel he sideing towards staying at lfc and they forcing it to get an answer.
Like why would trent want to leave lfc this jan? Above all times that u could leave now would be worst ever considering our league position.

01 Jan 2025 21:50:45
Disneyland I’ve never claimed to know anything. Quite the opposite in fact.

I’ve always said that none of us know enough about any of the contract negotiations to start apportioning blame.

I do however find it laughable that people think the club have ‘allowed’ this to happen.

02 Jan 2025 16:41:46
Was always a common tactic of Madrid though - anytime they wanted a player the Spanish press reported terms were agreed, done deal etc etc every week - this was always an attempt to unsettle the player, get the fans turning against him so the transfer actually happens.

Nothing agreed, will play out behind closed doors so I'd ignore most of these so called media reports - they all originate from the Spanish press anyway, newspapers etc here just regurgitate the same rubbish

Honestly hope all 3 will sign new contracts though the cost msut be an issue - the difficulty is agreeing acceptable terms with the player whilst staying within the PSR guidelines for UEFA and the FA and also not giving them so much money that other top players in the club feel slighted by so want more - cannot destabilise the club wage structure but all 3 are worth keeping.

02 Jan 2025 17:23:51
We should judge the lad on what he does on the pitch and up to now the three players who could leave on a free in the summer are pushing for trophies. Let's stay behind them YNWA.

02 Jan 2025 20:26:54
Crazy from Fbart. Have some empathy. The guy is a legend - if like Keegan, Rush, Souness etc he wants an overseas challenge, then good luck to him.

Both Jamie R, and Lineker have been sensible on this point: I don’t like Real at all, but they are currently the only club to move to if you want an overseas experience at the top level.
