The 26-year-old's contract at Anfield expires in just six months, and despite his representatives remaining in talks with the hierarchy at the Merseyside club, they do not appear to be close to a breakthrough in negotiations.

Reports from Spain have suggested that Alexander-Arnold has already informed Liverpool of his intention to leave for Spain at the end of the season, but those claims have been shut down by local journalists.

Whilst it was reported that no fee was mentioned in the enquiry from Real Madrid, Chris Bascombe has claimed that the La Liga giants are willing to pay £20million to sign the right-back in January.
