At the start of January, chiefs at the Santiago Bernabeu approached the Reds to ask whether they would be willing to do business in January, a move that was immediately rebuffed.

It seems that Los Blancos may now be resigned to the fact that a move during this transfer window will not be possible with Relevo reporting it 'is seen as practically impossible'.

The outlet claims that sources have told them with Alexander-Arnold not willing to force a move and Liverpool competing on four fronts, there is no option 'to advance the operation in January'.

However, Relevo also claims that barring 'an unexpected turn', the right-back will join the La Liga giants in July, even though Liverpool will not give up in their hope of trying to convince him to stay on Merseyside.
