As Alexander-Arnold heads to Real Madrid, the player Liverpool want to replace him

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly considering a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid, with Liverpool manager Arne Slot already eyeing a potential replacement.

Sources close to the player suggest that the England international has expressed a keen interest in a switch to the Santiago Bernabéu, where he could team up with fellow countryman Jude Bellingham. Alexander-Arnold, a pivotal figure in Liverpool's recent success, is believed to be attracted by the allure of playing for one of the biggest clubs in world football.

With Alexander-Arnold potentially on his way out, Liverpool manager Arne Slot is said to be targeting Bayern Munich's versatile full-back, Alphonso Davies, as a direct replacement. The Canadian international has impressed with his pace and attacking flair, making him an ideal candidate to fill the void left by Alexander-Arnold.

While Liverpool have been reluctant to part ways with their academy graduate, the prospect of a significant transfer fee could tempt the Merseyside club to sanction a sale. Real Madrid, meanwhile, are in the market for a versatile full-back and see Alexander-Arnold as the ideal candidate to bolster their squad.
