There is a lot of buzz surrounding the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool. It seems that two big European clubs have now joined Real Madrid in the race to secure the talented defender's signature. According to reports, the 26-year-old is currently in the final year of his contract with the Reds and has yet to discuss an extension with the club.
Alexander-Arnold, who came through Liverpool's academy, has become a key player for the team, but it appears that his impressive performances have caught the attention of clubs abroad. While Real Madrid was initially seen as the only possible destination for the Englishman, it seems that they may now face competition for his services from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
TalkSPORT is reporting that both clubs are interested in the full-back, but it is believed that Real Madrid is still in the lead and have made him their top transfer target for the upcoming January window. This news comes after Dani Carvajal's season-ending injury, which has left the Spanish champions in need of a replacement at right-back.
There are also reports coming out of Spain that suggest Real Madrid may not want to wait until the end of the season to make a move for Alexander-Arnold and could try to sign him in January before his contract expires. Other names on the club's shortlist include Tottenham's Pedro Porro, Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong, and Sevilla's Juanlu.
In a recent interview with ITV while on international duty with England, Alexander-Arnold did not rule out the possibility of leaving Liverpool in the future, stating that his main motivation is to win trophies. He also mentioned that he has signed multiple contract extensions with the club in the past, and this one will also be kept private.
Ultimately, it seems that the defender's desire to win trophies and be among the elite in the game will be the deciding factor in his future. Whether he stays at Liverpool or moves on to one of the interested clubs, it is clear that his main motivation is to continue achieving success on the pitch.
