According to British media GMS, Real Madrid has always believed that it is very important for Arnold to join the team before the Club World Cup, so Real Madrid expressed goodwill to Liverpool, and all parties also believed that the deal was fair.

Liverpool rejected Real Madrid's contact in January because they believed that Arnold would play a key role in helping the team win the Premier League championship. The right-back never pushed for a transfer in the middle of the season.

Edwards had a conversation with Real Madrid seniors, while Hughes was involved in formulating an acceptable transfer fee. Liverpool and Real Madrid maintain a friendly relationship. According to GMS, Real Madrid hopes to express goodwill to Liverpool, and all parties believe that the deal is fair.

Liverpool actually thinks the deal is worth £10m because they don't have to pay Arnold's salary from the end of May, and the €10m fee will be paid in one lump sum.

When Real Madrid made a offer in January, they expressed their willingness to pay between 20 million and 25 million euros for Arnold. Hughes was the main driving force behind the boycott of the offer, and he believed the England international was a key part of Liverpool's championship. He has taken the same attitude towards Nunes, and despite the Saudi side's keen interest, Hughes hopes to keep the striker until the end of the season.

Hughes believes winning the 20th League title is more important than anything else and has been supported by Edwards, although these two potential mid-season transfers will have a huge positive impact on the club's financial situation.

Liverpool is happy to receive €10 million, which will be very helpful for the busy summer coming. Although it was disappointing that Arnold did not renew his contract, the team was happy for him.

Sources said Arnold performed impeccably and never pushed for a transfer early in the season. The Liverpool owner applauded Arnold for receiving medals on the sidelines, indicating that despite his imminent departure, he is still highly respected at the club.
