Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a star player for the Reds ever since he broke into the first-team in the 2016/17 season, and has been a regular at right-back since the following campaign.

Since being handed his debut by Jurgen Klopp, Alexander-Arnold has won almost every major trophy he could hope to win in a Liverpool shirt.

And in the summer of 2023, he was named vice-captain of his boyhood club as he moved a step closer to following in Steven Gerrard's footsteps.

Now, though, it seems that Alexander-Arnold may be swapping Merseyside for Madrid in a few months' time.

Speculation has been swirling for months about whether or not Liverpool and Alexander-Arnold will come to an agreement over a new contract.

Michael Owen, Steve McManaman, Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa all left the Reds to sign for Madrid, while Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho both joined Barcelona, with the latter completing a £142million back in January 2018.

In Coutinho's case, there were rumours that the Camp Nou club wanted to sign the Brazilian months before he moved to Spain.

Liverpool rejected three bids in the summer of 2017, and it was in May of that year that Coutinho opened up on the advice that Klopp had given him over the prospect of leaving Anfield.

"Stay here and they will end up building a statue in your honour," Klopp famously advised Coutinho back in 2017.

"Go somewhere else, to Barcelona, to Bayern Munich, to Real Madrid, and you will be just another player

Here you can be something more."

Despite the warning from Klopp, Coutinho chose to leave Liverpool and sign for Barcelona
