Real Madrid are reportedly interested in making a move for Liverpool defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The 25-year-old could be the first player to leave Liverpool in the post-Jurgen Klopp era as Los Blancos are closely monitoring his situation at the Premier League club.
According to transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano as reported by Football365, there are currently no contract talks between Liverpool and Alexander-Arnold, despite his current deal running out in the summer of 2025.
Romano said: “We know Trent Alexander-Arnold is a crucial player for Liverpool, but how likely is a new contract amid interest from Real Madrid?

“Still, there is now interest from Real Madrid, they are monitoring the situation, though at the moment there is no direct contact with the player or anything like that. They are keeping a close eye on things, but it’s still early.
“It’s also worth saying that at the moment there is no direct conversation between Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool over a new contract. That’s why Real Madrid are monitoring the situation because they know there is no concrete negotiation there.
It will then be important to see what happens under the new structure with Michael Edwards, and how these conversations will go.”
Alexander-Arnold broke into Liverpool’s first team in the 2016/17 season after spending many years in the club’s academy.
