Liverpool's plan B against Real Madrid to keep Alexander-Arnold intrigues everyone

Liverpool is pulling out all the stops to retain one of its most prized assets, Trent Alexander-Arnold. The England international, who has been linked with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid, is reportedly set to receive a lucrative contract offer from the Reds.

Alexander-Arnold, a product of the Liverpool academy, has become an integral part of Arne Slot's side. His exceptional crossing ability, defensive solidity, and attacking flair have made him one of the best right-backs in the world.

The 24-year-old's current contract is set to expire in 2025, and with his performances attracting interest from Europe's elite, Liverpool is keen to tie him down to a long-term deal. According to reports, the club is prepared to offer Alexander-Arnold a significantly improved contract that would make him one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.

Real Madrid have long been admirers of the Englishman and see him as the ideal long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal. However, Liverpool will be hoping that their lucrative offer and the prospect of continuing his development at Anfield will be enough to persuade Alexander-Arnold to stay.
