Alexander-Arnold will be out of contract at the end of the season and negotiations over a new deal have dragged on for months with no end in sight yet.
Real Madrid are growing increasingly confident of taking the defender to the Spanish capital on a free transfer next summer and believe he won’t be signing a new deal.
Liverpool insist that the defender has not made a decision and talks are still ongoing but the Reds are growing wary of him walking away at the end of the season.
The Merseyside giants are aware that they could need a new right-back next summer and the club are keeping tabs on several players who could come in to replace Alexander-Arnold.
The club are keen on Dutch right-back
Arne Slot has avoided shopping in the Netherlands since becoming Liverpool manager but that could change next summer.
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are interested in getting their hands on Ajax defender Devyne Rensch in the next transfer window.
His name has been added to their shortlist of targets after the club recently scouted him playing for Ajax and were left impressed by his performances.
Rensch can play centre-back or right-back but he is largely been looked at as an option to replace Alexander-Arnold. His versatility is one of the reasons the club are interested in him.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?

The 21-year-old Dutchman is seen as a player with huge potential and Liverpool’s recruitment team have received glowing reports on him from their scouts.
A product of the Ajax academy, he has already featured 147 times for the Dutch giants and is seen as a massive talent in the Netherlands.
However, it is unclear whether the defender would be prepared to leave Ajax in the summer as he is open to signing a new contract with the Dutch giants.
Liverpool will continue to monitor his performances this season before taking a call on whether to push for his signing in the next summer transfer window.
