Following the development of right-back Conor Bradley, both La Liga teams believe the England star is willing to depart, according to reports in Spain.
The Reds are prepared to pay £180,000 per week more to Alexander-Arnold under a new contract, but they are not willing to go beyond budget.
It was reported that he would turn down Real Madrid to sign a new contract with Liverpool, but there is no update on the new contract.
According to the Sun, there have been suggestions that he would depart to play at the Bernabeu with Jude Bellingham, his England teammate.
Last month, the two were also photographed vacationing in Los Angeles, where Alexander-Arnold was observed autographing a Madrid shirt for an enthusiast.
Real and Barcelona, along with other elite teams, are examining what could be feasible for the next 12 months or so.
