The Reds right-back has one year left on his contract at Anfield and there is little sign of the defender being close to signing a new deal to remain at Anfield.
but none of the speculation has been taken seriously.
that Real Madrid are finally getting serious with concrete interest from the La Liga giants in defender Alexander-Arnold is building.

there is a new sense of anxiety growing around Anfield at the thought of Alexander-Arnold leaving for Real Madrid.
Jones adds:
Quite how serious the interest is remains to be seen, but one thing for sure is he has been in vision of Bernabeu decision makers for a while.
At the back end of last season, GMS sources were suggesting that Real Madrid were waiting to see how Alexander-Arnold s contract affairs would be addressed on Merseyside. At the time, there seemed more consideration as to whether he might run his contract down and be available in one year’s time than for a deal to open up this summer.
But, as Jurgen Klopp departed and Liverpool searched for a new boss, the reigning La Liga champions hierarchy have been watching closely to see how things are addressed with the 25-year-old right-back.
Arne Slot was named the Reds new head coach and the Dutchman wants to have Alexander-Arnold on board for the new campaign. The intent has been to get him signed up to fresh terms, and it is understood that remains the case. But they will need to move fast.
The season begins in one month and this is a key time to cement plans. So far, Real Madrid have seen and heard nothing to put them off, and that is why their interest may be hitting a new level.
But Fabrizio Romano has quashed the latest links from Bild with the transfer insider claiming that there is no update on Alexander-Arnold s future.
: There’s no update on Trent Alexander-Arnold at the moment.
I shared in March that Real Madrid are monitoring the situation and this remains the case, nothing fresh or new so far.
