However whilst contract talks are ongoing, Trent has been “constantly talking” to Bellingham about Madrid according to a report from The Independent.

The scouser did little to quash rumours either when he was pictured alongside Real Madrid duo Kylian Mbappe and Aurélien Tchouaméni, and was videoed signing a Real Madrid shirt for a young fan.

Alexander-Arnold is currently assessing how the post-Jurgen Klopp era at Anfield progresses before making a commitment according to the report.

Liverpool's contract situation

Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes reportedly views an extension for the Scouser as a priority, however the lack of movement so far has left some fans concerned their hero may leave. 

Despite a poor result against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Trent has been a key figure in an impressive start for Liverpool in their opening three games, and fans will be hoping that the 3-0 win at Old Trafford went some way to convincing him of Arne Slot’s managerial capabilities.

Alexander-Arnold is not the only player whose contract is set to expire. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are both currently going to leave Liverpool at the same time as the Englishman, with their contracts also at an end.
