Widely regarded as one of Europe's most creative right-backs, the England international, recently featuring at Euro 2024 en route to the Three Lions ending second, would be a valuable asset for new Liverpool boss Arne Slot.
However, with his contract entering its final year, speculation surrounding his long-term future at Anfield has recently intensified.

Why are Real Madrid chasing Alexander-Arnold?
Spanish giants Real Madrid have previously been linked with a move for Alexander-Arnold, and according to Bild, Los Blancos' interest is now "concrete”.
They have reportedly been in contact with the player's representatives for a month and are closely monitoring his contract situation with the Reds as Carlo Ancelotti's side seem to be preparing for life after right-back duo Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez, both 32 and out of contract in 2025.

Ex-Bayern midfielder backs Real Madrid and Spain star for Ballon d’Or ahead of Bellingham
Could Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior lose out on the Ballon d’Or to Los Blancos teammate?
While Vazquez is set for a one-year extension, Carvajal's future remains uncertain and Real Madrid seemingly view Alexander-Arnold as the ideal candidate to fill the right-back void in the coming years.
What comes next?
While it is unclear whether the Liverpool player is keen on leaving his boyhood club and venturing abroad, a move to Real Madrid would see the 25-year-old alongside fellow Englishman Jude Bellingham, who impressed in his debut season for Los Blancos in 2023-24, as well as the club's newest Galactico signing, Kylian Mbappe, who was officially unveiled on Tuesday.
