Liverpool have been warned! Real Madrid notify Reds of plan to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in free transfer next summer

<p>Liverpool are actively working to secure a contract extension for Alexander-Arnold, whose deal, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-trio-mohamed-salah-trent-alexander-arnold-virgil-van-dijk-reds-chief-offers-update-on-contract-talks/bltff277f0e7b06e9ca" target="_blank">along with those of captain Virgil van Dijk and forward Mohamed Salah,</a> expires at the end of the season. The club’s management hopes to convince the right-back to remain with the Reds, despite growing speculation surrounding his potential departure.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://talksport.com/football/2338581/real-madrid-trent-alexander-arnold-transfer-liverpool/" target="_blank"><em>talkSPORT</em></a><em>,</em> Madrid have already informed the Reds of their intent to pursue Alexander-Arnold as a free agent. While the Spanish club are not legally required to declare their interest - since Alexander-Arnold will be eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs in January - it is understood that they aim to handle the situation with respect to Liverpool.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Madrid’s need for a long-term replacement at right-back has intensified following Dani Carvajal’s ACL injury earlier this month. The 32-year-old, a six-time Champions League winner, is sidelined indefinitely, leaving them without a natural right-back option. This situation has seemingly fast-tracked Madrid’s succession planning for Carvajal, with Alexander-Arnold emerging as their preferred target.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As contract talks continue, Alexander-Arnold is also working his way <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-returns-liverpool-training-champions-league-showdown-transfer-suitors-real-madrid/blt0ba735b478a1f1ae" target="_blank">back to full fitness </a>following a hamstring injury. Although he missed Liverpool’s midweek Champions League rematch with Madrid, he is expected to return for Sunday’s crucial Premier League showdown against Manchester City.</p>
