Real Madrid make approach to sign Liverpool star

Real Madrid have made an approach to sign Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold this winter, according to Sport.

The England international has been a key player for the Reds over the years, but his future is uncertain heading into the New Year.

The right-back's contract expires at the end of the season and as things stand, the club have failed to convince him over a renewal.

Madrid are free to discuss a pre-contract with the defender from January 1, but they appear keen on landing his services this winter.

Sport claim that Los Blancos made an enquiry for the 26-year-old earlier today, but it was swiftly rejected by the Merseyside giants.

Liverpool have had a fantastic campaign under new manager Arne Slot and they are reluctant to lose any of their prized assets next month.

Alexander-Arnold is one of the undisputed starters when fit and the Reds could be prepared to lose him on a free transfer next summer.
