It is news that Liverpool handed over an all-time offer to catch Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The British Mirror said on the 5th (Korea time) "Liverpool offered Alexander-Arnold a huge five-year, 78 million pounds (W142.6 billion) contract to get Alexander-Arnold out of Real Madrid's grip."," he reported.
In terms of annual salary, it is about 15.6 million pounds (about 28.5 billion won). Alexander-Arnold's annual salary in Liverpool is 9.36 million pounds (about 17.1 billion won). It is a huge offer that will raise more than 67% compared to the previous salary. Even considering Alexander-Arnold's symbolism and skills in Liverpool, it is a difficult rate to imagine.
Liverpool made such an unconventional offer to renew Alexander-Arnold's contract to prevent the transfer of Real and to keep the player. The whole world knows that Real is currently aiming for Alexander-Arnold.
Alexander-Arnold's contract with Liverpool expires at the end of this season. Under Boseman rules, Alexander-Arnold will be free to negotiate with other clubs from January 1. Right now, it doesn't matter if you announce that you will leave Liverpool and move to another club after this season.
Real are approaching for the gap. Real lured the player by contacting Alexander-Arnold even before the issue of re-signing Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool arose. For some reason, Liverpool's efforts to catch Alexander-Arnold were somewhat belated.
In the end, Liverpool faced a crisis of handing over Alexander-Arnold to Real and even World Class resources without receiving a transfer fee as it became a scenario that Liverpool did not want. Everyone knows that the Mirror is not a 100% reliable medium, but the situation is running against Liverpool. It's not strange at all if Liverpool suddenly offers a huge salary.
The problem is that Real has also handed over the same level of offer. If Alexander-Arnold only looks at 'money', it is advantageous to sign with Real. Real may hand Alexander-Arnold a large down payment because he can bring him without a transfer fee. Just as he promised a down payment of 150 million euros (about 227.4 billion won) last summer when he brought in Kylian Mbappe.
Another reason Liverpool is in such a hurry is that reports continue to flow that Alexander-Arnold's mind has already tilted toward Real. Another piece of information to know about this was Real's transfer offer.
Real tested Liverpool to sign Alexander-Arnold as soon as 1 January. England's The Athletic rejected Real's offer to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in January. Real contacted Liverpool's leadership to see if Liverpool were ready to sell Alexander-Arnold to them over the winter. However, he has made it clear that there is no discussion with Liverpool and that he is not interested in selling Alexander-Arnold in the January transfer window," the report said.
Real's offer was only 20 million pounds (about 36.5 billion won), far short of Alexander-Arnold's ransom. Considering that Arnold's ransom exceeded 60 million pounds (about 110 billion won), it was far from enough money.
The reason why Real looked at Liverpool with a ridiculous offer is that this winter's transfer market is the last time to collect transfer fees by selling Alexander-Arnold. In more detail, it means that he has confidence in recruiting Alexander-Arnold. Since he is confident of persuading Alexander-Arnold to join Real, it can be said that Liverpool offered a small transfer fee even though he knew he would not accept it.
For now, it is understood that Alexander-Arnold has not made a decision yet. The Mirror said "This all put the player in a dilemma. While staying at his hometown club, he is in conflict over whether he will establish himself as a young man in Liverpool or become a member of Real, arguably the biggest club in world football. Liverpool think there is nothing more they can do for Alexander-Arnold", he explained.
