Former Liverpool fullback Stephen Warnock has advised the Reds to offer Trent Alexander-Arnold a bumper pay rise in a bid to convince him to stay at Anfield.
The England international whose contract will expire this summer, is set to join Spanish giant Real Madrid.
However, Warnock told BBC Sport that Liverpool still has everything within their control to convince Alexander-Arnold before the Premier League season ends.

“I think there is an opportunity for him to stay, that he thinks: ‘if you want me you have to pay’.
“If you look at (Virgil) van Dijk and (Mohamed) Salah, their salaries are astronomically high right now. Trent is a local guy. It’s not about the money the other two are making, but he will think he should be at that level. If you can close that gap, he can stay.”
He added, “Liverpool fans will be very frustrated if he leaves as manager. He’s a player who came in for no fee (from the club’s academy) and has given you eight fantastic years.
