Real Madrid are reportedly ready to move to the next phase of their plan to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in 2025.
Alexander-Arnold is out of contract with Liverpool at the end of the 2024/2025 season and talks about an extension are underway.
The England international effectively has two choices: sign a five-year extension on Merseyside, or accept a new career challenge in Madrid in 2025.
The saga continues to dominate the gossip pages in both Britain and Spain, with Los Blancos hoping to gain an edge.
The latest update indicates that Real Madrid are confident of formalizing the deal in January, but all parties are still in discussions.
In addition to the club's strategy, Alexander-Arnold's England teammate Jude Bellingham is actively working to convince him to join Real Madrid as part of the negotiations.
Reds boss Arne Slot was asked about the developing situation ahead of their weekend clash with Fulham and the Dutch coach is untroubled by the rumours, but had no definitive update.
“I'm not worried about it, we accept the situation as it is. They (plus Van Dijk and Salah) play at a very good club and are doing very well. Hopefully we can continue this way for a long time.”
