Real Madrid could agree a deal with Liverpool to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold before his contract runs out within the next 24 hours.

The La Liga side are said to have accelerated talks with the Reds in a bid to quickly get a deal over the line.

New boss Xabi Alonso would like to see Alexander-Arnold in his squad in time for Los Blancos' first match of the Club World Cup.



Alexander-Arnold is due to join up with England squad next week, for games against Andorra and Senegal, and the Spanish giants want the international to officially be their player by this point.

Real Madrid attempted to prise Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool in January but the Premier League champions rejected the bid outright as they focused on claiming the title.

The defender remained tight-lipped on his future as contract ticked down as he eventually saw Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk extend their deals having been in the final months of their own agreements.

After Liverpool secured the Premier League title, Alexander-Arnold made his announcement and received some backlash from supporters.

"Stepping out at Anfield today after what had happened a few weeks ago, but I wanted to play for the club one more time.

"I said that to the manager and he trusted me to go in there at half-time and to get the reception that I got it means more than anything to me.

"I've played hundreds of games for the club, but I've never felt so loved and so cared for than today, and I found the bottom of my heart I hope that one day the fans and the supporters of this club will be able to recognise the hard work and everything that I've done for the team.
