Real Madrid not interested in top EPL defender with contract up next summer

Liverpool are working on three important extensions this winter, but only one of them has a chance of ending up at Real Madrid.

Los Blancos are in talks with Trent Alexander-Arnold over a deal, which could see the right-back sign a contract to join them on a free transfer next week. That is also the case for Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, but Marca say that while Los Blancos respect and admire Van Dijk, he is not an option they have planned for or discussed internally. Their information is that he will sign a new contract at Anfield until 2028.

At one point it looked like Real Madrid would try to sign a centre-back next summer, but they appear to be abandoning that idea following the emergence of Raul Asencio. However, they are optimistic about a deal for Alexander-Arnold as the Reds try to convince him to stay.
