The Trent Alexander-Arnold contract situation has continued to hog the headline much to Liverpool’s annoyance. The club are still struggling to agree on a new deal with the player and Real Madrid are pushing to take him to the Spanish capital on a free transfer next summer.
Liverpool are insistent that negotiations are still ongoing and Alexander-Arnold has not made any definitive decision to leave the Merseyside giants at the end of the season.
The Reds are prepared to push the envelope to keep him at the club and have offered him a mega-contract that would make him the best-paid player in the Premier League.
Alexander-Arnold is the top target for Real Madrid and the European giants have been in constant contact with his representatives to convince him to move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, claims are being made that Real Madrid are looking at one more top right-back target, which could mean good news for Liverpool.
Trent Alexander-Arnold contract situation: Top right-back wants Real Madrid move
Alexander-Arnold is the player Real Madrid want but a deal would only be possible if he didn’t sign a new contract with Liverpool.
Liverpool are keen to avoid that situation and are pushing to convince the defended to sign a new and expensive long-term deal with the club.
It has been claimed that Real Madrid are considering alternatives and according to TBR Football, Pedro Porro is emerging as a credible target for the club.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Liverpool would love it if Real Madrid turned their attention towards the Tottenham star and it has been claimed that he is very keen to move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Spurs could price him out of a move but the player is trying hard and his agent has been in contact with the reigning European champions.
Alexander-Arnold is the preferred target for Real Madrid but their interest in Porro suggests that the Liverpool defender has not given his final consent to a move to Spain.
Real Madrid are assessing their options and it seems unclear whether they are sure about getting their top target next summer.
