Liverpool have plans to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window but the club are now facing the threat of losing a key player in the middle of the season.
The Merseyside giants want to bring in a midfielder in the middle of the season and are prepared to sanction Wataru Endo’s sale to part-fund the move.
Liverpool are also expected to consider loan offers for Tyler Morton, who has been linked with a move to Leeds United and are likely to take calls on the future of a few more youngsters.
However, the Reds are now facing the prospect of losing a key player in the winter window due to the contract situation of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The defender has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer and the Spanish giants have already offered him a big contract.
However, there is now a slight chance that the defender could move to the Spanish capital in the January transfer window itself.
Real Madrid could make a move to land the Reds star in January itself
The Spanish giants are going through a tricky period and the 4-0 defeat at home to Barcelona has ramped up the pressure on the team.
Dani Carvajal’s serious knee injury has forced Real Madrid to rethink their transfer plans regarding the right-back situation.
Alexander-Arnold has been their top target but the plan has always been to try and sign him on a free transfer at the end of the season.
However, Real Madrid need a new right-back this season and according to reports in Spain, they could try to sign him in the winter window.
Can you name the club Liverpool signed these players from?
Liverpool do not want to lose him in the middle of the season but selling him could bring them some money for their coffers.
Los Blancos have not made a decision and Alexander-Arnold has not indicated that he is considering leaving Liverpool in the winter window itself.
However, if Carlo Ancelotti”s side continue to struggle, it would be no surprise if they push to sign the Liverpool star in January and put the Merseyside giants under pressure.
Real Madrid are also tracking Pedro Porro but Alexander-Arnold is the player they really want.
