The 26-year-old is out of contract next summer, and despite reports that his representatives remain in discussions with the Reds about extending that deal, there are no signs of a breakthrough in negotiations.

Speculation linking him with a move to Los Blancos has persisted for months, but matters got more serious on Tuesday with the news that the La Liga giants had contacted Liverpool asking if they would sell the England international in January.

According to The Telegraph, however, no matter what chiefs at the Santiago Bernabeu offer Liverpool, it is 'secondary to their Premier League title and Champions League ambitions'.

🚨 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢: Liverpool’s position is that whatever fee they might receive for the right-back is SECONDARY to their Premier League title and Champions League ambitions. They are interested in trophies, NOT what numbers they can secure for a pivotal player, @Telegraph.

The outlet states that the Premier League leaders are 'invested in trophies' and not how much money they can secure for one of their key players.

Liverpool face Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, with Arne Slot's pre-match press conference on Friday likely to be dominated by the distraction of the right-back's situation.
