Concerns over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation could leave Liverpool in an unexpected predicament

Trent Alexander-Arnold is still considering his future but appears to be leaning towards a transfer to Real Madrid.

The 26-year-old full-back has only eight months remaining on his contract with Liverpool and has not yet agreed to an extension.

Following Dani Carvajal’s recent long-term ACL injury, Alexander-Arnold has become a transfer target for Real Madrid, potentially joining his close friend Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Trent Alexander-Arnold nearing a move to Real Madrid.

He recently expressed his ambition to be the first full-back to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or, which has intensified speculation about his future.

Fans would be shocked to see the England international leave Liverpool after 20 years, but a report from Football Insider suggests this could soon be a reality.

With Alexander-Arnold “increasingly likely to join” Los Blancos, Liverpool may need to consider selling him in the January transfer window to avoid losing him for free in six months.

Inconceivable situation for Liverpool

This news is sure to alarm supporters.

The thought of Liverpool having to sell one of their greatest academy graduates is a difficult situation for the club to face.

To prevent this outcome, Arne Slot must focus on persuading the player that staying and signing a new deal is the best choice.

Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk are also set to be out of contract at the end of the season, though Van Dijk is expected to negotiate a new agreement soon.

Arne Slot has made few changes at Liverpool since taking over as manager from Jurgen Klopp, but he has adjusted the tactics. Notably, the team is now utilizing a 4-2-3-1 formation with a No. 10 role.

Slot has been positioning Dominik Szoboszlai in the CAM role, with Curtis Jones also available for this spot, indicating a desire to enhance depth in that area.

Caught Offside reports that Liverpool has shown interest in Shakhtar Donetsk’s Georgiy Sudakov and has been closely monitoring his performances for some time.

Scouts attended recent matches against LNZ Cherkasy and Veres Rivne, where Sudakov scored four goals and provided an assist in a 5-1 victory over Cherkasy.

Impressed by the 22-year-old’s performance, Caught Offside suggests Liverpool may move forward with a bid for the midfielder. A previous report from Spain noted that Sudakov’s value is around £29m[€35m]. However, securing him may be costly, as Caught Offside claims Shakhtar is seeking approximately £54.4m[€65m].

The report states that Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are also exploring the possibility of acquiring the Ukrainian player, meaning Liverpool will encounter strong competition for any potential deal.

Sudakov plays as a No.10 and has had a strong beginning to this season, contributing to nine goals in eight league matches.

He has become a regular starter for Ukraine and assisted in the winning goal against Georgia in the Nations League during the recent international break.
