Barcelona, Man City enter race for Alexander-Arnold


Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential exit from Liverpool is shaping up to be one of the biggest transfer stories of 2025.

With his contract expiring at the end of the season, the 25-year-old is attracting attention from Europe’s elite, as Liverpool’s hopes of renewing his contract appear increasingly uncertain.

Barcelona have reportedly made Alexander-Arnold their top priority for their right-back, hoping to revamp their defensive options.

According to CaughtOffside, the Catalan giants plan to table an offer in January, capitalizing on his availability as a free agent in the summer.

However, Barcelona are not alone. Manchester City have now joined the race, posing a significant challenge to the Blaugrana’s plans.

Pep Guardiola is reportedly eager to bring Alexander-Arnold to the Etihad, viewing him as a game-changer in City’s already formidable lineup.

Recall Real Madrid, long linked with the Liverpool star, remain in contention as well.

The Spanish giants have been monitoring his situation closely and plan to engage in discussions when the transfer window opens.
