Liverpool fans have been anxiously reading about Trent Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid in recent days.

The Liverpool No.66’s contract expires in July 2025, and it remains to be seen if he signs a new deal.

Alexander-Arnold is believed to be interested in a potential free transfer switch to Real Madrid next summer, and an interesting detail has now emerged from the England camp…

What England players are saying about Trent Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid

A story from the Independent now highlights how Jude Bellingham’s friendship with Trent Alexander-Arnold could prove decisive.

It is said that some players within the England squad at UEFA Euro 2024 believe the Real Madrid No.5 has such a close connection with the Liverpool academy graduate, that it could even lure him to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer.

Liverpool fans used to get excited about Jordan Henderson and Alexander-Arnold’s bond with Bellingham as they hoped it would lure the 21-year-old from Borussia Dortmund to Anfield.

Now, however, the tables have turned, with Real Madrid potentially signing one of Arne Slot’s best players thanks to his relationship with the Birmingham-born maestro.

How Liverpool feel about the situation

This is obviously far from an ideal situation for Liverpool ahead of Slot’s first campaign in charge.

Interestingly, the Reds are believed to be worried about losing Alexander-Arnold this summer rather than next year.

A story from Give Me Sport mentions that Liverpool are fearful of losing the 25-year-old to the Spanish giants, and are scrambling to offer the man from West Derby improved terms.

Ultimately, this is a very sticky situation for Liverpool, as time is of the essence, and millions of pounds are at stake.

If Liverpool decide to keep negotiating with Alexander-Arnold across the next 12 months, they risk losing a very valuable footballer for nothing next summer.

Contrastingly, fans may accuse the Reds of not trying hard enough to keep the right-back if a sale is sanctioned this summer, a window which potentially signals Liverpool’s last chance to make some money from any possible exit.
