Real Madrid have expressed a strong desire to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the potential to negotiate a pre-contract agreement as early as January.
This comes as the England international enters the final stages of his current contract, with Liverpool keen to retain him alongside other high-profile players like Salah and van Dijk.
While Real Madrid’s interest is still developing, Liverpool is working to resolve these key contract situations.
While Real Madrid’s approach has been respectful, they are keen on adding the talented right-back to their ranks. Liverpool, however, remains hopeful of convincing Alexander-Arnold to extend his stay at Anfield.
His situation mirrors that of other key players, including Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, whose contracts also expire in the coming year.
The Reds are facing a crucial period as they try to secure new deals for these foundational figures before they become free agents .
