Real Madrid remain confident of signing Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer this summer – with sources in Spain suggesting the move is ‘all set and done’.
Mail Sport reported in December that the champions of Europe were certain Alexander-Arnold would be their man and were planning for life with the England international in their team.
That confidence has only intensified since then, although sources close to Liverpool suggest that they have had no indication yet that any deal has been completed.
Real Madrid have been legally permitted to talk to Alexander-Arnold since January 1 — and have been doing so — as his contract at Anfield expires in June.
