Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid
Latest Liverpool transfer news and gossip including updates on Trent Alexander-Arnold, Milos Kerkez, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah and more
Alexander-Arnold’s current contract expires this summer, and negotiations to extend his stay at Anfield have faltered.

However, the situation is further complicated by the return from injury of veteran star Dani Carvajal, who has held the Real Madrid right-back slot for over a decade. Carvajal's 2024/25 season was cut short in October, after he suffered a triple knee ligament injury, with surgery ruling him out for the remainder of the campaign.

Alexander-Arnold has been instrumental in Liverpool 's ascent to the top of the Premier League and Champions League tables, despite occasional stumbles, such as the Premier League draw with Manchester United.
