Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future has emerged as a major talking point as his current contract at Liverpool expires at the end of the 2024-25 season.

The 26-year-old is yet to agree an extension, which has become a cause for concern at Anfield.

Real Madrid’s interest in Alexander-Arnold is well-documented, with the La Liga giants keen on snapping him up on a free transfer.

However, it appears as if their plans have changed dramatically in recent weeks as we edge closer to the January transfer window.

With Dani Carvajal out with an ACL injury and Eder Militao flattering to deceive in that role, Real Madrid’s need for a right-back is growing with each passing day.

A report from Marca states that Carlo Ancelotti’s side have a new sense of urgency to sign the Liverpool defender in January when he’ll be free to negotiate terms with potential suitors.

Lucas Vasquez is the only option Real Madrid have at right-back currently and they believe Alexander-Arnold’s arrival would add some much-needed balance to a side that has struggled this season.

The report also goes on to state that Liverpool have absolutely no intention of encouraging talks of a potential sale midway through the season, making the deal a difficult one to pull off.

Liverpool’s priority is to tie him down to a new contract, but in the unlikely case of his departure, they already have Conor Bradley at the club, who has proved to be a more than able deputy since bursting onto the scene last season.

Jeremie Frimpong is Liverpool’s top priority to replace Alexander-Arnold, with the Dutchman featuring for Bayer Leverkusen in their 4-0 loss at Anfield yesterday.

The uncertainty on the 26-year-old’s future is causing a bit of unrest at the club so Liverpool will look to bring this saga to an end soon, one way or another.
