According to the Daily Mail, in addition to Real Madrid, Barcelona are also keeping a close eye on Liverpool right-back Trent
Arnold (name)
The Move. Arnold's contract with Liverpool is set to expire in 2025, but negotiations for an extension are not going well, leaving his future uncertain.
If a contract extension cannot be agreed, Liverpool may choose to sell Arnold this summer for a transfer fee rather than letting him leave on a free transfer in the future. Real Madrid have been very interested in Arnold and have the upper hand in this competition. Arnold's friendship with Real Madrid newcomer Bellingham could also be an important factor in his transfer. It is reported that Bellingham has been persuading Arnold to join Real Madrid during his vacation in the U.S., while Liverpool legend Owen has also publicly suggested that Arnold move to Real Madrid.
However, Barcelona are not far behind and have started to keep a close eye on Arnold's situation. However, it is unclear whether Barcelona intend to make a move this summer or plan to wait for Arnold's contract to expire to try and waive it.
At Liverpool, Arnold's performances have received mixed reviews. While he still showed top talent on the offensive end, his performance on the defensive end was often questioned. Additionally, as Bradley has grown at Liverpool, Arnold has moved forward, a change that has left him feeling a bit uncomfortable.
