Real Madrid have seen a bid to sign Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold fizzle out ahead of the January transfer window as the Reds do not plan to part ways with the right-back during the 2024/25 season.
The full-back has been in excellent form throughout the first half of the current campaign, which continued on Sunday as the England international found the net in the 5-0 win over West Ham.
The defender’s performances come with a cloud hanging over them as Liverpool fans are unsure whether the player will remain at Anfield beyond the current season. Alexander-Arnold is out of contract with the Merseyside club in 2025 and there has been no sign of a new deal.
This attracted Real Madrid to the situation of Alexander-Arnold with the La Liga champions linked with the 26-year-old for months.
