Trent Alexander-Arnold is in the final year of his contract at Anfield, and Real Madrid is thought to be tracking him.
Liverpool’s Arne Slot era is off to a flying start, with Wednesday night’s Champions League victory against Bologna making it eight wins in the Dutchman’s first nine games in command.
The Reds are at the top of the early Premier League table, and the transfer from Jurgen Klopp to Slot appears to be going as well as the club could have hoped.

One blemish on Liverpool’s record is the contract situation of important players Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are all in the final year of their contracts.
All three have been major contributors this season, but while Van Dijk and Salah are both in their 30s, succession plans will be required, and Alexander-Arnold, at 25, is reaching his prime years.
If any of these three make it to January without agreeing to new terms, they will be eligible to negotiate with foreign clubs as free agents next summer, with Real Madrid highly associated with the England international, who FourFourTwo ranked as the greatest right-back in the world last month.
Alexander-Arnold stated last month that he wants to captain Liverpool and win trophies, but no information has been received from the club. Former Reds favourite Steve McManaman, on the other hand, has highlighted the three players’ current condition, stressing that, while it is a ‘issue’, progress is being made.
Trent’s circumstances and how they came about are widely known,” McManaman remarked on TNT Sports. “The sporting director and Jurgen Klopp are departing, so it’s sort of in limbo. What’s helping is that Virgil and Mo Salah are in the same situation.
