No extension at Anfield is on the cards for the 26-year-old defender.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>La Liga giants <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-tipped-challenge-ballon-d-or-real-madrid-ex-liverpool-striker-mate-jude-bellingham-swaying-transfer-decision/blt6667f289e8651a51" target="_blank">Real have been monitoring Alexander-Arnold’s situation for some time</a>. They are said to have terms on the table that are ready to be signed. According to updates from <a href="https://www.sky-sport.ch/fr/articles/dean-huijsen-jeremie-frimpong-victor-osimhen-alexander-arnold-voici-les-infos-transferts-de-la-semaine/ " target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a> in Switzerland, the buccaneering full-back has given his word to Los Blancos that he will be heading to Spain.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Once <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-told-why-never-win-ballon-d-or-joins-jude-bellingham-real-madrid-former-liverpool-defender-honest-future/blt512913db9621302b" target="_blank">at Santiago Bernabeu</a>, Alexander-Arnold will supposedly agree a deal that is worth €15 million (£13m/$16m) a year – which <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/500k-a-week-trent-alexander-arnold-tipped-sign-record-breaking-deal-real-madrid-transfer-prediction-liverpool-star/blt18ac535d63e5b983" target="_blank">represents a sizeable increase on his current contract at Liverpool</a>. He is also due "attractive performance bonuses as well as a signing bonus that is equivalent to a reasonable transfer fee".</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Liverpool are said to have made efforts to enter into talks with home-grown star Alexander-Arnold, but they are now having to line up a replacement. Sky also claim that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-high-alert-arne-slot-regular-contact-jeremie-frimpong-bayer-leverkusen-eur40m-star-plots-move/blt9d7b56ee52c8dc73" target="_blank">Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong is the man that the Reds have in their sights</a>.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Arne Slot is eager to bring his fellow Dutchman to England, with a "personal approach" being favoured. Liverpool’s manager is planning talks with Frimpong’s representatives, regular contact through messages and a "physical meeting in the coming weeks".</p>
