Liverpool are pushing to secure a contract renewal with Trent Alexander-Arnold despite growing interest from Real Madrid.
The pair meet in UEFA Champions League action on November 27 with a huge focus on Liverpool's right.
Alexander-Arnold withdrew from the England squad ahead of their two UEFA Nations League games earlier this month, but is now back to full fitness.
According to multiple reports, Liverpool have used the international break to step up contract talks with the 26-year-old as negotiations enter a crucial phase before the end of 2024.
Alexander-Arnold is eligible to start free transfer talks with non-Premier League clubs from the start of 2025 and Real Madrid are confident of securing a deal based on their long-term interest in the player.
However, despite the feeling in Madrid of conviction over Alexander-Arnold, former Liverpool chief executive Peter Moore believes the Reds are still firmly in the running to keep their academy product.
“I don't know what will happen with the contract situation. But what I do know is that the club is working feverishly to do business, be it all three, two of the three, one of the three or none of the three ( including Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah,” he told Soccerex via Miami Liverpool Echo.
“Think about what they offer, and come January, especially in the case of Trent, we will see what happens. But I know that the ownership is talking with their respective agents – I'm sure that feverishly.”
