Real Madrid executives are reportedly meeting Liverpool counterparts to discuss a potential transfer for Trent Alexander-Arnold. The 25-year-old right-back is admired by Real Madrid, with Carlo Ancelotti making him a top target. His current contract with Liverpool expires this summer, leaving a free transfer a possibility unless Liverpool chooses to sell him in January.

Marca claims the clubs share a strong relationship, and Liverpool has already initiated discussions with Real about Alexander-Arnold. A product of Liverpool’s academy, Alexander-Arnold has played a key role in the team’s Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup triumphs.

Meanwhile, Liverpool faces a contract dilemma with other stars, including Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, whose deals also end this summer. Salah has hinted at leaving, admitting, “I’m probably more out than in.” The talks coincide with tonight’s Champions League match at Anfield, a repeat of the 2018 final, as Liverpool looks to maintain form against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City on Sunday.
