The England international is one of three superstar players Liverpool have on their books who are set to become free-agents at the end of this season, with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk yet to sign new contracts with their current deals due to expire in the summer.
With Madrid interested in signing Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool are in a race against time to secure the 26-year-old defender’s future, with the defender enjoying a fantastic season under Arne Slot having also rediscovered his form for England.
Yet Liverpool’s chances of keeping Alexander-Arnold are seemingly falling by the second.

Real Madrid confident Alexander-Arnold wants to join next summer
According to CaughtOffside, Madrid are as confident as they have ever been in signing Alexander-Arnold, with Los Blancos holding several transfer meetings with the Liverpool star in recent weeks over a summer move.
Alexander-Arnold was hailed as ‘magnificent’ by Neil Mellor after Liverpool’s 2-1 win against Chelsea, with the defender this season showing why he’s one of the best players in the world and a fullback that the Reds will find impossible to replace.
And this latest update will come as a hammer blow for Liverpool fans, with the report also stating that ‘there is now close to zero chance’ of Alexander-Arnold signing a new deal with the Anfield giants.
Indeed, Alexander-Arnold leaving Liverpool would be nothing short of a disaster, and supporters will be rightfully angry at the club for allowing one of their star players to run down their contract without working hard enough to stop this situation from happening.

Questions need to be raised if Alexander-Arnold leaves for free
Liverpool have been regarded in the last ten years as one of the best ran football clubs in the Premier League, with the Reds often on top of every possible situation regarding their star players and their futures.
Which is why Alexander-Arnold leaving for free next summer would raise some serious questions over what the Liverpool board are prioritising behind the scenes, with the defender simply too important a player on and off the pitch to be allowed to depart for nothing.
Although Alexander-Arnold can’t be faulted for wanting to join a club as big as Madrid, Liverpool can be questioned for how they were unable to prevent the situation from even coming about, with the defender set to leave for not a single penny next summer.
