With Trent Alexander-Arnold already likely to join Real Madrid at the end of the season, the Spanish giants are reportedly readying a stunning £76m bid to sign a second Liverpool star.
Alexander-Arnold closing in on Real Madrid move
Yet to sign a new Liverpool deal, any scenario in which Alexander-Arnold stays put at Anfield would have to come to fruition in the coming weeks with his current contract continuing to tick down. Lying in wait when it does expire is Real Madrid, who look destined to land the bargain of the summer and add yet another sensational talent to a stacked squad.
That said, whilst he will be departing the home of the Premier League champions, Alexander-Arnold is unlikely to be joining the home of the Spanish champions following a chaotic campaign full of disappointment for Real Madrid.
With four games to go, Carlos Ancelotti’s side sit four points behind a Barcelona side they just lost the Copa del Rey final against. And given the mood that Hansi Flick’s side have been in at times this season, their grip on the title seems unlikely to loosen.

Liverpool have made signing a left-back one of their priorities this summer.
What’s more, it may not be Ancelotti’s Madrid at all that Alexander-Arnold joins. The veteran manager has been heavily linked with a move to the Brazil national team as of late in a move that could reportedly see Xabi Alonso head to the Bernabeu as a replacement.
That could yet spell more bad news for Liverpool, however, given that Alonso is a fan of an Anfield star that Real Madrid have already reportedly set their sights on this summer.
Real Madrid readying £75m+ Mac Allister move
Not done with their shopping in Merseyside after Alexander-Arnold, the Spanish giants have reportedly turned their attention towards another key man. According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid are now readying an offer worth €90m (£76m) to sign Alexis Mac Allister, who Alonso sees as the perfect fit at the Bernabeu this summer.
The alarm bells will already be ringing around Anfield after Alexander-Anrold’s reported decision, but Mac Allister could yet do what the academy graduate seemingly failed to do and maintain his loyalty to Liverpool.
Recently speaking about his future, the midfielder told reporters when asked about the Real Madrid rumours: “I read the rumours and the news reaches me, but the important thing is the present. I’m fine at Liverpool, I have a lot of respect for the club and I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about other institutions.”
If the Argentine’s importance wasn’t clear enough, then his stunning strike against Tottenham Hotspur before Liverpool raced to a 5-1 thrashing to seal Premier League glory should be more than enough to highlight just how crucial his role is.
