According to Bild journalist <a href="https://x.com/cfbayern/status/1813267386255933675" target="_blank">Christian Falk</a>, Los Blancos' <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-trent-alexander-arnold-liverpool-knock-down-fee-managerial-uncertainty-anfield/bltfd8d844b283e9e47#csae0cddb4dfdb2751" target="_blank">interest in the 25-year-old is escalating</a> and the full-back himself is open to a move. This comes at a time when the England international is now in the final year of his Liverpool contract.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Alexander-Arnold is fast approaching Liverpool legend status but this season could be his last unless he signs a new deal, with his current terms expiring in 2025. The Reds academy product has been a key player over the years but with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jurgen-klopp-last-ynwa-video-liverpool-boss-moved-emotional-goodbye-anfield-crowd-premier-league-final-day/blt7889e579ff09332d" target="_blank">manager Jurgen Klopp stepping down last season</a>, perhaps the defender wants a change as well.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Alexander-Arnold, who helped guide England to the final of Euro 2024 this month, has made 310 appearances for Liverpool - scoring 19 goals along the way. The defender made his debut in the 2016/17 campaign and many Reds fans will hope he adds to his appearance tally this term.
