Liverpool is planning to exchange defender Trent Alexander-Arnold for Real Madrid striker Rodrygo, who has an estimated value of up to 110 million euros.
Having just won a record 15th Champions League title , Los Blancos is preparing to welcome quality stars in attack, Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, to their squad.
Alexander-Arnold and Rodrygo have faced each other many times
Of course, their arrival has led to speculation surrounding Rodrygo’s future. The winger seems to be the one most likely to have to be on the bench following the arrival of Mbappe and Endrick.
While Rodrygo has repeatedly insisted that he is happy with the La Liga giants, Spanish newspaper Nacional claim Liverpool are considering an exchange deal involving Real star Trent Alexander-Arnold. .
Alexander-Arnold, who has just one year left on his contract with Liverpool, has been linked with Real over the past few months. Los Blancos President Florentino Perez is said to consider Alexander-Arnold as the ideal successor to Dani Carvajal.
This couple can swap clubs with each other
Rodrygo scored 17 goals and had 9 assists in 51 matches in all competitions last season for Real. He is currently valued at 110 million euros by Transfermarkt. And Real is also expected to not accept an offer of less than 100 million euros if they sell Rodrygo.
However, a swap agreement could be put in place. Accordingly, Liverpool can include Alexander-Arnold in a swap agreement with Rodrygo. The English defender is valued at 70 million euros by Transfermarkt. Thus, Liverpool may have to spend an additional 30 to 40 million euros.
This could be a good deal for all parties. Real will have a quality and youthful right-back in the context that Carvajal is currently 32 years old. Liverpool also has a good attacking star after Jota, Diaz, Gakpo or Nunez did not meet the requirements.
Rodrygo himself can play regularly and Alexander-Arnold can experience a new challenge after winning all the glory with The Kop.
