Trent Alexander-Arnold could face a battle to break into the Real Madrid starting XI if he joins the La Liga giants this summer. Liverpool have rejected two January transfer offers from Los Blancos for their superstar right-back as contract extension talks continue at Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold’s current contract expires this summer, and negotiations to extend his stay at Anfield have faltered. Unlike teammates Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have publicly addressed their contract situations, Alexander-Arnold has stayed silent, a move widely perceived as calculated.

Real Madrid are ready to make a new bid for Liverpool and England international right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the January transfer window.
