Real Madrid's continued search for Trent Alexander-Arnold is affecting his performances at Liverpool.
Los Blancos are working to secure a free transfer for the England international in 2025, with his Reds contract set to expire in June despite a new offer from the club.
As the saga continues, rumors are swirling that Real Madrid have rejected a transfer offer, with January being Liverpool's last chance to seal a move for the 26-year-old.
Despite the club claiming the talks have had no impact on his form, a poor performance in the 2-2 Premier League draw against Manchester United meant more attention was placed on him.
Jamie Carragher hinted in his post-match comments that the scenario 'must affect him' and the ex-defender declared the Spanish giants were wrong.
Carragher's co-pundit on Sky Sports, Gary Neville, claimed the timing of Real Madrid's bid is 'insulting' as Liverpool have never shown any willingness to sell the defender this month.
All parties have indicated that the situation could continue until the end of the mid-season transfer window, with Liverpool fans awaiting an update.
