England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is in his final year with Liverpool and negotiations with the club continue, but Real Madrid are also committed to acquiring him, leaving the future of the local-born side-back uncertain.
Meanwhile, they are also working on a new contract with French defender Ibrahima Konate, who is under contract until April 2026, and discussions are ongoing between the two sides. However, no agreement has yet been reached and there could be options other than staying at Anfield.
According to CaughtOffside, Real Madrid, who are looking to land Alexander-Arnold without a transfer fee, are also eyeing the French centre-back to form Liverpool’s final line and are looking for a chance to bring him in.
The age of their centre-backs, including Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, is increasing and they are tracking the next generation of players. Arsenal’s French defender Willian Saliba and others are also seen as targets.
Liverpool have no plans to sell Virgil van Dijk’s partner, which would require a reasonable transfer fee. The Reds would like to sign a new contract as soon as possible and avoid spending time worrying about renewing the contracts of their key players, as they have done this season.
So is there a future for him leaving the Merseyside club to play in the Spanish capital…?
