Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is attempting to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool on a free transfer
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.
The Spanish giants have targeted Alexander-Arnold, 26, as a long-term successor to Dani Carvajal, although no agreement is yet in place despite the Liverpool defender being permitted to negotiate a pre-contract with other clubs.
Alexander-Arnold has less than five months left on his contract at Anfield and is allowed to move on a free this summer without an extension in place.
Telegraph Sport reported in December that landing Alexander-Arnold as a free transfer was the La Liga champions' primary focus. While they made a bid of around £20 million during the January window, there was no expectation of a deal progressing.
When asked about the Alexander-Arnold bid, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher told The Gary Neville Podcast last month: "All those parties know Liverpool are going to turn that down anyway."
Alexander-Arnold has remained silent on his future at Liverpool and with Arne Slot's team competing for the Premier League title, he is unlikely to want distractions away from securing another major piece of silverware to his haul which includes the 2019 Champions League trophy.
