Real Madrid will step up their attempts to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold as a Bosman free agent in the summer as part of the European champions’ “all-or-nothing” transfer policy.

Real Madrid are ready to step up their pursuit of Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer this summer after the January window came to a close, a report has claimed. Alexander-Arnold is now in the final five months of his contract with Liverpool and Madrid have made it abundantly clear that the right-back is their top transfer target for 2025.

Liverpool will make a late decision on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s availability to face Everton but Joe Gomez has been ruled out of Wednesday’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
