Trent Alexander-Arnold has not yet made a decision about signing a contract extension with Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold will no longer have a contract with the Premier League leaders at the end of the current season, while negotiations for an extension are ongoing.
Despite Arne Slot's confidence about keeping the defender, the England star has two choices: accept a five-year extension on Merseyside, or look for a new challenge at Real Madrid.
Mixed reports from Spain and Britain have complicated the picture, but an exclusive update from Marca in the past 24 hours claimed Alexander-Arnold has chosen Madrid.
The report claims that Alexander-Arnold has communicated his decision to Liverpool's hierarchy following the latest round of contract talks as a major update.
However, as the saga continues, reports from the Liverpool Echo indicate that no clear move has been made, with Alexander-Arnold still considering all options.
That could delay a formal announcement at the end of January as Liverpool prepare for a more delicate situation regarding their plans.
