<p>The England international has cemented himself as one of the top defenders in Europe and as a result, is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-transfer-hope-trophy-warning-to-liverpool-contract-uncertainty/blt3305277a119471b8" target="_blank">drawing interest from Carlo Ancelotti</a> and Real Madrid. According to <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/mercado-fichajes/contactos-real-madrid-alexanderarnold-20241003171313-nt.html" target="_blank">Relevo</a>, Los Blancos have made first contact with the 25-year-old in an effort to convince him to make the switch to Spain next summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-transfer-hope-trophy-warning-to-liverpool-contract-uncertainty/blt3305277a119471b8" target="_blank">Losing Alexander-Arnold</a> - a local lad who has won it all with the club - would be a huge blow for Liverpool. Conor Bradley has emerged as a suitable replacement for right-back but it is difficult for anyone to match the levels the Merseyside star can reach when he is on form.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Alexander-Arnold has a very close friendship with Madrid star Jude Bellingham. The pair enjoyed a lot of time together with England during Euro 2024 and the ex-Birmingham midfielder <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-told-final-piece-trent-alexander-arnold-move-real-madrid-as-ex-liverpool-star-england-friendship/bltfdb513fe75a8503b" target="_blank">could be key </a>to convincing the defender to leave his boyhood club.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>For now, Alexander-Arnold is a Liverpool player and he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-trophies-mean-more-liverpool-real-madrid-anfield-icon-signing-new-contract/blt433716908f62a2cc" target="_blank">could yet sign an extension</a> with the Reds. His focus will be on the pitch at this moment and that continues when Arne Slot's men travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday.</p>
