Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly made a major decision about his future at Liverpool.

Trent’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current season and so he would technically be able to sign a pre-contract with a foreign club from January if he chose not to renew.

The Liverpool star has been linked with Real Madrid over the summer, with reports often mentioning his close friendship with Jude Bellingham, which was evident at the Euros over the summer, with the English duo debuting their own celebration together. He was also pictured with Bellingham alongside Real Madrid pair Kylian Mbappe and Aurélien Tchouaméni over the summer.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has already closed a deal with Real Madrid and will join them from next season according to a shock new report from TodoFichajes.

The report claims that hope is fading amongst the Liverpool hierarchy that the Scouse defender will decide to renew, and they understand that he wants to leave the club.

Euro winning right-back Dani Carvajal is set to renew his contract with Los Blancos, whilst back-up full back Lucas Vázquez is looking increasingly likely to depart. This would make space for Trent as the new starter for Madrid, with Carvajal moving into a supporting role.

If the deal was to happen, Trent would join a defence containing David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger, who were both also signed on free transfers by the Spanish club. Kylian Mbappe

Liverpool's contract conundrum

Trent is one of three major Liverpool stars whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season, with some fans increasingly worried by the lack of movement on new deals.

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have both spoken about being in the last year of their contracts with the Reds, however there is yet to be a clear move towards the renewals.

Unlike Alexander-Arnold, both are now in their thirties and the two highest earners at the club, Salah earning £350,000 per week, and so there is fear they will be let go to make way for younger, more long-term options.

Fabrizo Romano however has spoken recently and said Liverpool are working hard on contract renwals for their star ploayers.

"I can guarantee that for Trent, it's the same situation as Van Dijk and Salah," Romano said on his Youtube channel. "The priority is Liverpool. Conversations between Trent, his agents, and the club will happen to determine what comes next."
