The British Telegraph reported on the 14th (local time) that Real Madrid had asked Liverpool to release Alexander-Arnold free of charge, allowing him to play in the group stage of the Club World Cup.
Real Madrid, Spain's prestigious club, reportedly made no financial offer to Liverpool. Liverpool simply wants to allow Arnold to be transferred freely before June 30, the expiration date of the player's contract.
According to the media, Real Madrid contacted Liverpool after Alexander-Arnold announced last week that he would leave Liverpool. At the time, Liverpool was believed to be part of negotiations to receive even a small transfer fee, but Real Madrid turned out to have simply requested Arnold's early joining.
Alexander-Arnold is set to join Real Madrid on a five-year deal in free agency. Real Madrid want him in the squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which begins in mid-June.
Real Madrid want Liverpool to allow it on the premise that Arnold, an England defender, is likely to give up his salary for the last month. However, since the player's registration rights are in Liverpool until the expiration of the contract, the player himself cannot push for a forced transfer by leaving without permission.
The Telegraph explained that there were also reports that Real Madrid was willing to offer between 500,000 and 850,000 pounds (930 million and 1.5 billion won), but at this time, this strategy does not appear to be being pursued.

The tournament's round of 16 tournaments will begin on June 28 and run until July 1. In theory, Arnold can only play for Real Madrid after July 1. However, even in this case, Liverpool's consent is required for him to leave for the United States and join the team.
Otherwise, Arnold will have to wait until the quarterfinals on July 4-5. The final will be held on July 13.
Real Madrid must register Arnold, which is permitted under FIFA regulations. Club World Cup participating clubs can register additionally through a special registration period between June 27 and July 3.
Real Madrid want to introduce a new star player, Alexander-Arnold, through this Club World Cup. This is because it is a competition where you have to do your best. A huge prize of 94 million pounds (about 170 billion won) is at stake when winning the championship.
The tournament is also considered a strategic marketing opportunity for European big clubs, and coach Xavi Alonso will officially join Real Madrid as the new coach starting with the Club World Cup.
