Exclusive: Real Madrid “following” Liverpool star’s situation, says transfer expert

Real Madrid continues to monitor the developments surrounding Liverpool’s right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, as reported by transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano.

Alexander-Arnold, a key figure for Liverpool since progressing from their youth academy, is approaching the final year of his contract at Anfield, making him an appealing target for a club like Real Madrid.

Romano, in an exclusive discussion with CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, noted that there hasn’t been significant change since Madrid’s initial interest in Alexander-Arnold was revealed.

He anticipates that Liverpool will prioritize retaining Alexander-Arnold due to his importance to the team, and it will be intriguing to observe the progress Liverpool makes in negotiating a new contract for the 25-year-old.

Romano provided an update on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential transfer, stating that at the moment, there’s no new development.

He reiterated that Real Madrid is observing the situation, but there haven’t been any talks or contact.

Liverpool must act swiftly to retain Alexander-Arnold, a pivotal player with his prime years ahead. Losing him would create a significant void in the team, as he offers unique qualities that are hard to replace.

Romano also touched on Mohamed Salah’s future, indicating the fans’ desire to keep the squad intact despite the need for improvements after a challenging season.
