Real Madrid are interested in luring Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold away from Anfield this summer, The Pitch Prospect has learned.
The English international only has one year left on his contract in Merseyside, which has aroused the interest of the Royal Club.

And his teammate at the Three Lions, Jude Bellingham, could play a crucial role in this, as the bond between the two is likely to have become even stronger by the time the 2024 European Championships come around.
It remains to be seen whether Real will convert its interest into a formal offer for Alexander Arnold, who graduated from Liverpool’s academy.
Meanwhile, it is unclear whether Liverpool would consider a move for the versatile right-back.
There is currently no talk of the player signing a new contract with his youth club.
But if he were to move to the Bernabeu, he would be reunited with his close friend Bellingham.
The midfielder joined Los Blancos from Borussia Dortmund last year and won the LaLiga and Champions League double in his debut season, establishing himself as a key player.
The departure of Jürgen Klopp from Liverpool FC could signal an exodus at Anfield, as the contracts of key players Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah also expire in June 2025.
Real Madrid has repeatedly signed superstars on the transfer market in recent years.
