Alexander-Arnold undecided on future amid Liverpool contract talks, Real Madrid interest

Liverpool and England international right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold remains undecided about his future.

His contract negotiations with his boyhood club continue, amid strong interest from Real Madrid.

The Athletic reports that the Englishman has yet to make a decision, leaving his next move uncertain.

Liverpool are actively working to secure a contract extension for the 25-year-old, whose current deal expires next summer.

However, Real Madrid have identified Alexander-Arnold as their top target to replace the injured Dani Carvajal and bolster their defense.

Conflicting reports have emerged in recent weeks, with some suggesting that Alexander-Arnold had decided against renewing his contract at Anfield, potentially paving the way for a move to Madrid.

If no agreement is reached with Liverpool, he would be free to negotiate a pre-contract with other clubs as early as January.

While Alexander-Arnold is a key figure in Liverpool’s current title charge, Real Madrid have shown urgency to reinforce their right-back position, identifying Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot as a alternative.

Liverpool fans will hope their academy product commits to extending his stay, while the prospect of joining the reigning European champions presents an enticing option for the defender. The coming weeks are set to be crucial in determining his next step.
