Too much! Real Madrid asks Liverpool to release Arnold in advance in order to participate in the Club World Cup

On May 15, according to the Daily Telegraph, Real Madrid has contacted Liverpool and tried to sign Arnold in advance so that players can participate in the Club World Cup held in mid-June. Although Arnold's contract with Liverpool was signed until the end of June, Real Madrid was not willing to pay any transfer fees for Arnold, but hoped that the Reds would release them for free.

Just last week, Arnold announced that he would not renew his contract with Liverpool and would join Spanish giant Real Madrid as a free transfer after the Premier League season, because he has been pursued by Real Madrid in the past few months. Although Real Madrid can get Arnold for free, there are a lot of speculation that they will try to reach an agreement with Liverpool to sign the defender in advance so that he can participate in next month's Club World Cup.

At present, Real Madrid has suffered from serious injuries, and they are even more short of people in the right back position. Real Madrid hopes that Arnold can represent the team in the first Club World Cup. According to the Daily Telegraph, Real Madrid asked Liverpool to release Arnold early. Real Madrid's request shocked Liverpool executives. They initially thought that Real Madrid would provide a offer, but Real Madrid meant to be free. The only benefit Liverpool could get is that Arnold might give up his last month’s salary to push for such a transfer. He and Real Madrid both need Liverpool's approval to get him to the Club World Cup, as the Reds will hold Alexander Arnold's registration until the end of June. Arnold made his debut in Sunday's Premier League match, his first game after publicly announcing his intention to leave the club, and he was booed by some Liverpool fans. Despite this reaction, Slot insists he won't exclude Arnold from the squad of Liverpool's last two games of the season.

He explained on Sunday: "I don't think there is anything that could happen that would weaken our chances of winning the 20th League title. The thing I'm thinking is that I want to win a football game, and if I think we can get Trent on the field, I owe his teammates and fans because Liverpool hired me to win as many football games as possible.

"If I think there is a greater chance of winning in the field, then I will (choose him). If I think it's a distraction or anything that might keep us from playing a good game, then I may, may, may make another decision. But I think Trent showed today why I brought him in because he gave us some great crosses that were very close to the goal. ”
