Liverpool fans have been anxiously reading about Trent Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid in recent days.

The Liverpool No.66’s ♉contract expires in July 2025, and it remains to be seen if he signs a new deal.

Alexande💜r-Arnold is believed to be interested in a potential free𝓀 transfer switch to Real Madrid next summer, and an interesting detail has now em𒅌erged fr𒅌om the England camp…

What England players are saying about Trent Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid

A story from the now highlights how Jude Bellingham’s friendship with Trent Alexander-Arnold could prove decisive.

It is said that some players within the Engla♔nd squad at UEFA Euro 2024 belie𒁏ve the Real Madrid No.5 has such a close connection with the Liverpool academy graduate, that it could even lure him to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer.

Liverpool fans used to get excited about Jordan 𝐆Henderson and Alexander-Arnold’s bond with Belꦇlingham as they hoped it would lure the 21-year-old from Borussia Dortmund to Anfield.

Now, however, the tables have turned, with Real Madrid potentially signing one of Arne Slot’s🔯 best players thanks to his relationship with the Birmingham-born maestro.

How Liverpool feel about the situation

This is obviously far from an ideal situatio🎉n for Liverpool ahead of ওSlot’s first campaign in charge.

Interestingly, the Reds are believ♓ed to be worried about losing Alexander-Arnold this summer rather than next year.

A story from mentions that Liverpool are fearful of losing the 25-year-old to the Spanish giants, and ar🍎e scrambling to offer the man from West Derby improved terms.

Ultimately, this is a very sticky situation for Liverpool, as time is of the essence, and mꦫillions of pounds aꦕre at stake.

If Liverpool decide to keep negotiating with Alexander-Arnold across t🅘he next 12 months, they risk losing a very valuable footballer for nothing next summer.

Contrastingly, fans may accuse the Reds of not trying hard enough to keep the right-back if a sale is sanctioned t♚his summer, a window which potentially signals Liverpool’s last chance to make some money from any possible exit.
