Real Madrid’s position on Trent Alexander-Arnold as Liverpool continue contract talks

Despite progress on a new contract with Liverpool, Real Madrid remains optimistic about signing Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Spanish club believes they can secure his signature in January, especially after Dani Carvajal's serious knee injury, which has left the 33-year-old out for a year.

With Carvajal's future uncertain, Madrid sees Alexander-Arnold, 26, as a potential long-term successor in the right-back role.

Liverpool is working to retain him, but Madrid remains confident they can finalize the deal soon.
