Liverpool ‘set to arrange’ a remarkable January swap deal with Real Madrid that could astonish the global football community.

Liverpool and Real Madrid are working on a swap deal, according to stunning reports.Liverpool are reportedly ‘planning’ a breathtaking January swap deal with Real Madrid that could send shockwaves through the football world. Arne Slot, who took charge in the summer, has made a sensational start as Liverpool manager, with his team currently leading both the Premier League and the Champions League. The Reds hold a five-point lead over Manchester City in the league and have won their first four matches of this season’s European competition.

Liverpool may look to bolster their squad ahead of the second half of the season as they compete on four fronts. The club had sought to sign a defensive midfielder in the summer, with a move for Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi falling through after he rejected a transfer to Anfield.

Aurelien Tchouameni has been heavily linked with a potential exit from Real Madrid, and Liverpool is reportedly monitoring his situation closely. According to *Defensa Central*, the Reds are preparing a shock swap deal that would see Trent Alexander-Arnold move to Madrid, with Tchouameni heading to Liverpool in return.

Tchouameni, who joined Real in the summer of 2022, is valued at around £50 million by the Spanish club, who are open to offloading the 24-year-old midfielder. Having made 103 appearances since his move from AS Monaco, Tchouameni has played 15 matches across all competitions this season.

On the other hand, Alexander-Arnold’s contract expires at the end of the season, and he has yet to agree to a new deal with Liverpool. While the club is keen to retain the 26-year-old, if he chooses not to sign an extension, they may look to sell him. Alexander-Arnold, a product of Liverpool’s youth academy, has made 325 appearances for the club, winning both the Premier League and Champions League during his decorated career.
