Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been spotted signing a fan’s Real Madrid shirt, amid speculation that he could be on his way to the club this summer.

Alexander-Arnold has just a year left on his contract at Anfield, and has rumoured to be interested in a switch to the Bernabeu in recent months.

According to talkSPORT, the Reds ‘are confident he sign a new deal and extended his stay’ at his boyhood club, however.

However, may have fuelled rumours about a move to Los Blancos, while signing a young fan’s shirt while he was on holiday in the US.

Alexander-Arnold was enjoying downtime with close friend, Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham.

Liverpool’s new manager Arne Slot about Alexander-Arnold’s contract can be agreed for Alexander-Arnold.

‘My answer will probably be a bit boring,’ he replied. ‘I think it’s the same answer you’ve heard in the last five, six or seven years.

‘That contract situation is not discussed at this place but just keep trying, I would say.’

Alexander-Arnold and Bellinghame, meanwhile, have become good friends since Bellingham was introduced to the England set-up two years ago, with many wondering whether roles would be reserved and Alexander-Arnold could persuade England’s star to join Liverpool before he signed for Madrid.

But that didn’t happen, and the shoe is now on the other foot, with Alexander-Arnold’s future up in the air and Bellingham’s settled.

The pair grew even closer in Germany during England’s run to the Euro 2024 final, and they have jetted off together for a much-needed break after becoming close friends.

Earlier this week, they were seen partying together in LA, and their adventures haven’t stopped there as they were once again pictured together with their entourages.

They enjoyed a meal at the renowned Nobu Malibu, which would have provided the perfect opportunity for Bellingham to sweet talk his friend over a potential move.

An agreement could be made as soon as January with Alexander-Arnold’s current contract up in a year’s time, with pre-contract agreements able to be made a few months out from the expiry.

It wouldn’t be the first big-money free transfer Madrid have secured were that to happen, with Mbappe running down his deal at PSG in France before moving to Spain this summer.
