Barcelona is helping its compatriot Real Madrid sign Englishman Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool to compensate for the absence of Dani Carvajal until the end of the season due to injury.
Barcelona managed to achieve a historic and significant victory over its rival Real Madrid in the Clasico that took place this week in the eleventh round of the Spanish League.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Liverpool is preparing for life without Arnold, whose contract with the Reds will expire next June. This means that his contract will not be renewed, and he will leave for free to Real Madrid.
The newspaper explained that Liverpool is preparing to compensate for Arnold by signing Barcelona’s French defender Jules Kounde in the next summer transfer period.
The English club is preparing to submit an offer to Barcelona worth 50 million euros in order to obtain the former Sevilla player’s services in the summer transfer window.
Kounde has become a key player for Barcelona this season under German coach Hansi Flick, which may make things difficult for the English club in its pursuit. However, the financial situation of the Catalan club under the management of Joan Laporta may lead to a different outcome.
