Real Madrid 'add Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold to transfer shortlist'

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has supposedly emerged as a transfer target for Real Madrid.

The England international has already claimed three assists from six appearances in all competitions this season and is not due to become a free agent until 2025.

Despite his status as one of Jurgen Klopp's indispensable players, journalist Ekrem Konur claims that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has added him to Los Blancos' wishlist.

However, Real supposedly recognise that a swoop for Alexander-Arnold in the summer of 2022 will not be simple given his recent extension, and Liverpool would not consider offers lower than £64m for the 23-year-old.

The Premier League and Champions League-winning right-back has already made 185 appearances for the Reds across all competitions, scoring 10 goals and setting up 47 more.

Alexander-Arnold has been struggling to overcome a groin problem in recent weeks but is expected to be fit for Saturday's Premier League encounter with Watford.
