Liverpool have been facing uncertainty over the contract renewals of several key players this season, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose current deal expires in the summer of 2025.
The 26-year-old right-back has received multiple offers from the Reds since the start of the season, as the club seeks to avoid losing their homegrown star on a free transfer next summer.
However, Alexander-Arnold has turned down all the offers so far, hinting at his desire to leave Anfield.
The England international has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2025, where he would join his close friend and England teammate Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabéu.
In light of this, Liverpool are reportedly resigned to the fact that they may not be able to renew his contract.
As a result, they are now considering selling the 26-year-old to Los Blancos in January, aiming to recoup some value from his eventual departure.
According to Spanish outlet Relevo, Real Madrid are open to the idea of signing Alexander-Arnold in January following the season-ending Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury to their captain and starting right-back, Dani Carvajal.
Despite this, Alexander-Arnold is said to be making the move ‘impossible’ at this stage. He reportedly wants to leave Anfield in the best possible way, with titles, rather than midway through the season.
It is now expected that Trent Alexander-Arnold will remain at Liverpool until the end of the current campaign, with hopes of securing the Premier League and other trophies under manager Arne Slot before making the move to Madrid in the summer of 2025.
