Real Madrid are in talks over the signing of Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer this summer.
According to multiple reports in England, the Spanish club have opened discussions with the representatives of the England international ahead of a summer move.
The move is close to completion, according to sources close to the deal.
Alexander-Arnold is in the final three months of his contract at Liverpool and is free to discuss a move abroad.
Real Madrid has made him a priority target this summer after following him closely for two months.
Alexander-Arnold has spent his entire career at Anfield, coming through the academy to make more than 300 appearances for the club.
He has won every major trophy while playing for Liverpool and is the club’s vice-captain.
He has established himself as a key member of a side that won the Premier League, Champions League and Club World Cup in the space of 14 months in 2019 and 2020.
Alexander-Arnold signed a new four-year contract in the summer of 2021 and scored penalties in shootouts of both finals as Liverpool won the League Cup and FA Cup in 2021-22.
He has been a key player for Arne Slot’s side this season with a series of impressive performances, notching up 38 matches in all competitions with two goals and seven assists.
He has been injured since the Champions League clash against PSG at Anfield earlier in the month.
