Real Madrid reportedly closes a free transfer deal to sign Alexander-Arnold this summer.
Alexander-Arnold was out of the contract in Liverpool at the end of June, with Los Blancos leaving their pursuit of him.
Real Madrid reportedly contacted Liverpool in January, who was rejected by the Premier League leaders, because they wanted to keep him until the end of the campaign.
The Saga has taken a new turn in recent days, with several sources that claim that Alexander-Arnold has accepted a five-year-old deal in Madrid during a renewal in Liverpool.
The finer details have yet to be confirmed and no deal will be packed until at least May with Real Madrid that reportedly works on an agreement to include it in their FIFA Club World Cup team in June.
The fall about his apparent decision has caused waves on Merseyside and in Madrid with questions about his defense capacity back on the agenda.
The 26-year-old has developed a reputation as one of the world's best attacking full backs, but his defensive record is mixed, and former England and Manchester United Right-back Gary Neville believes that the challenge in Madrid will be enormous despite Trent's talent.
'I constantly said he [Trent] Had to become more serious about his defense – or it will cause him problems, “Neville explained at Sky Sports' Stick to Football Podcast
“I think it will cause him a problem at Real Madrid because they have Fede Valverde, who is currently playing right back, and Dani Carvajal when he is going back has serious competition.
“The problem is that Carvajal 32 IS-Hij has had a bad injury but for me, Carvajal is a better full-back than Trent because of what he gives to the team.
“I have never known a right back that there is so often immersed in important periods of competitions.”
