Liverpool are braced to reject Real Madrid's pending £20million offer for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Madrid have already made an approach for the right-back, despite not submitting a formal bid, but the Reds swiftly rebuffed their advance.
Mail Sport has reported how the Spaniards are confident they can tempt the 26-year-old to join them, with his contract set to expire at the end of June.
They could have the England international for free in the summer but Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is keen to secure a deal this month after a season-ending injury to regular right-back Dani Carvajal.
