Trent Alexander-Arnold could leave Liverpool this summer for Real Madrid, with his last goal scored for the club.
The 25-year-old, who has spent his entire career at Liverpool, has been linked with the Spanish giants in the past, but a deal never materialised.
Given that his contract year has already expired, it is no surprise that Real Madrid are interested again.
Alexander-Arnold is reportedly interested in a move to the Spanish capital. BILDwhereby Real Madrid’s interest would be ‘concrete’.
If the right-back leaves this summer, it would be an emotional departure from Anfield given his popularity with Liverpool fans.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was in tears for Liverpool fans on the final day of the season
Alexander-Arnold himself was emotional on the final day of the Premier League season against Wolves in May when Jurgen Klopp pulled out.
He was in tears as the German manager walked out to pay tribute as fans sang ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
In hindsight, however, that could also have been because it was his last dance in front of the Liverpool crowd before a possible move to Real.
A move to the Spanish capital would see Alexander-Arnold reunite with Jude Bellingham after their friendship blossomed at Euro 2024.
The pair, who have both been linked to model friends – with Bellingham reportedly linked to 25-year-old Dutch influencer Laura Celia Valk, while Alexander-Arnold is in a relationship with British actor Jude Law’s daughter Iris, 23 – were inseparable at the European Championships but their bond grew stronger on the pitch.
They started together in England’s midfield in their opening Euro 2024 match against Serbia, with Bellingham proving to be the star of the show as he scored the only goal to give his team all three points.
After heading in a close-range cross from Bukayo Saka, the 20-year-old Bellingham celebrated with his teammates.

But as the rest of the players jogged back for the restart, Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold stayed behind to unveil their new joint celebration.
Both men knelt down on one knee and covered their faces with their hands. Bellingham later explained that it was a reference to the game Wolf – or Werewolf as it is also known – a popular pastime within the England team.
It is a card game that requires deception and strategic thinking. It is based on a deduction role-playing game called Mafia, which was created by Dimitry Davidoff in 1986. The game is believed to have inspired the popular BBC One series The Traitors.
As reported by The Athletics Earlier this week, Bellingham had no close ties with his England teammates apart from Alexander-Arnold.
Alexander-Arnold has currently made 310 appearances for Liverpool and scored a total of 19 goals for the Reds.
With the Merseyside club he also won the Premier League twice, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.
