Real Madrid are reportedly pursuing a shock move for Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old has been one of the most important first-team players for the Reds since making his competitive debut in 2016.
But he has entered the final year of his contract and no decision has yet been taken on extending his deal, leading to a transfer interest from Real Madrid.
According to reputed journalist Christian Falk, Los Blancos have concrete interest in signing the defender this summer.
And in a big blow for manager Arne Slot, Alexander-Arnold is also said to be interested in making the move to Spain.
Previous reports claimed that Liverpool’s priority this summer was sorting out the contract situations of Trent, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
But there hasn’t been any progress in that regard as the deals of all three players are set to expire next June.
Alexander-Arnold has spent his entire career at the Merseyside club, playing in 310 matches in all competitions and making 100 goal contributions.
His time at Anfield has seen him lifting the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup trophies, but he may be interested in a new challenge following Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
Real Madrid are looking to sign a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal and believe the England international to be a perfect fit.
Liverpool can reject any offer for the 25-year-old, but they then face the risk of losing the player for free next summer.
