According to a report from Football Insider, Liverpool have already moved on from Trent Alexander-Arnold, who looks all set to secure a free transfer to Real Madrid this summer. The English full-back is no longer a part of Arne Slot’s plans and they have already identified a replacement for him.
Alexander-Arnold has come up the ranks at Liverpool and has been a part of their first team since 2016. He has only gone from strength to strength over the years and has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the world.
The 26-year-old has won every major title at his childhood club and has played a key role in their Premier League-winning campaign this season. He has contributed towards 11 goals across his 40 appearances in the ongoing campaign.
Despite having a key role in the team under Arne Slot, Alexander-Arnold is set to leave the club after his contract runs out in the summer. While the Reds did try everything in their power to extend his stay at the club, the English international hasn’t really been keen on signing a new deal.
He has been linked with a free transfer to Real Madrid since the start and reports suggest he is on the verge of joining the Spanish giants. While Alexander-Arnold hasn’t made any comments on his future, reports suggest he could soon announce his move to Los Blancos.
Meanwhile, people at the Merseyside club have already accepted the fact that he will be moving on this summer. Given how things have panned out over the last 12 months, it will be a massive shock if he does end up having a change of heart.
Despite suggestions of a potential u-turn, the Reds seem to have already moved on from the 26-year-old. He is no longer a part of Arne Slot’s plans and they are already preparing for life without the English international. They are looking at Conor Bradley as an ideal replacement as he has impressed the Dutch manager in the limited opportunities he has had.
While the 21-year-old certainly has potential, his struggles with fitness have led the Merseyside club to explore the market for another full-back to ensure adequate depth in that position.
