Liverpool are reportedly facing the prospect of losing star right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid mid-season.
The Reds have had Alexander-Arnold’s worrying contract situation as a major distraction all season, and the England international will be a free agent at the end of the campaign.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can change this and tie Alexander-Arnold to a new deal, although there does not appear to have been any progress on this.

In fact, it now increasingly looks like the 26-year-old might even have decided not to stay at Liverpool, which could pave the way for him to leave in January when his club can still make money by selling him.
This is stated in a report from a Spanish media. All Transferswho suggest that Real Madrid could come next month.
Should Real Madrid make an early move for Trent Alexander-Arnold?
With Dani Carvajal injured, it perhaps makes sense that Madrid are considering signing Alexander-Arnold sooner than expected.
Even if Real Madrid could have him for free if they wait a few more months, they might figure it’s worth spending that little extra now if they can immediately fill the right-back position.
The report suggests that LFC would be willing to listen to offers this winter if it means they can avoid losing their star player for nothing, so it seems an intriguing situation to watch.
However, Liverpool fans will be dismayed at the thought of such an important player leaving in the middle of what is turning out to be such a promising debut season for new manager Arne Slot.
The Dutch tactician has done a tremendous job with this Liverpool team, but he has also faced a difficult situation with Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk being so close to the end of their contracts.
