Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is out of contract next summer, and journalists has now confirmed that Spanish giants Real Madrid are monitoring his situation ahead of a possible move
Losing the England international would be a disaster for the Reds, especially if he departs on a free transfer.
It could be an important summer transfer window coming up later this year in deciding his future, as the Merseyside outfit might be forced to cash in to avoid him leaving for nothing, unless they can convince him to sign a new deal.
The press has now confirmed that Liverpool are yet to enter discussions with Alexander-Arnold, who was described as ‘outstanding’ by former captain Jordan Henderson, regarding a new deal, despite his contract expiring next summer.
The Reds have not indicated any desire to sell at this stage, but La Liga club Real Madrid are monitoring his contract situation.
With just over 12 months remaining on his £192k-a-week contract, it’s a worrying time for Liverpool, who are in a weak negotiating position if Madrid arrive with an offer on the table.
There’s no guarantee that the academy graduate would be interested in heading through the exit door at Anfield, but the Reds will want to avoid a proposal even being made by tieing him down to a new contract.
