Just when Liverpool fans were still reeling from the Trent Alexander-Arnold bombshell, Real Madrid appear to have struck again. The Spanish giants are now targeting another Anfield star in a move that could deepen Liverpool’s transfer crisis — and ignite fury across Merseyside.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was confirmed as a Real Madrid player last week in an official unveiling after he left Liverpool this summer for a £10m fee early to join the Spanish giants ahead of the Club World Cup.
The Merseyside giants were left unimpressed by the way Real Madrid tapped up the homegrown talent over the last year, and snared him away from Anfield this summer.
However, more transfer pain is on the cards as Real Madrid are now plotting to carry out the same process on another Liverpool player throughout the next season.

Real Madrid set to repeat the Trent Alexander-Arnold trick on one more Liverpool player
Real Madrid have developed a remarkable knack of convincing players to run down their contracts and join them on a free transfer.
Ultimately, they paid a fee for Alexander-Arnold due to the Club World Cup situation, but it is clear, they were working on the transfer since last year.
According to Marca, Liverpool are set to face a similar situation with one more player next season, as Real Madrid try to set up one more free transfer for next summer.
It has been claimed Ibrahima Konate has emerged as the top target for Real Madrid for next season, and the club have already started working on him to convince the Frenchman to run down his contract.
The defender has confirmed that he will stay at Liverpool next season, but there has been very little progress in talks over a new deal between his agents and Liverpool.
