With Liverpool facing competition in their efforts to tie 15-year-old prodigy Josh Abe to the club for the long term, his trip to Real Madrid could raise concerns. Abe has emerged as one of the most highly regarded talents in Liverpool’s academy, becoming a regular for the U18s this season despite only turning 15 in July.

The Josh Abe situation: A quick look • Bernabeu trip: The 15-year-old sparked exit fears after being hosted by Real Madrid, posing with Vinicius Jr. and Trent Alexander-Arnold. • Rival interest: Chelsea and Arsenal are also monitoring the winger, who is not yet eligible for a professional contract. • Agency links: Abe’s presence with Tyler Alexander-Arnold hints at a move towards formal representation with the PLG agency. • Academy standout: Despite his age, the forward has already notched five goal contributions in seven appearances for the under-18s this term. Abe posed with Trent Alexander-Arnold and his brother Tyler on the pitch after the game, with suggestions this could be part of an attempt to woo the youngster.

While currently represented by his family, Abe’s trajectory could see him seek out more formal representation, and Tyler Alexander-Arnold’s appearance may indicate interest from his agency PLG. Who is Josh Abe?
