Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly informed the club of his desire to leave on a free transfer in 2025.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly told Liverpool that he wants to join Real Madrid at the end of the season.
The defender's contract is set to expire in six months, and Madrid are eager to sign him on a free transfer, as they did for the likes of David Alaba, Toni Rudiger and Kylian Mbappe.
Despite being offered a new deal by Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold has been tempted by the prospect of playing for the Spanish giants and a close personal relationship with Jude Bellingham.
According to MARCA, the 26-year-old informed Liverpool of his decision during recent contract talks.
This development has significant implications for the Reds who must now decide whether to sell him in January or risk losing him for free in the summer.

Good bye Santiago Bernabeu! Real Madrid reportedly set to rename iconic stadium
After 70 years, Real Madrid is set to rename Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, are content to wait until the summer to sign Alexander-Arnold, knowing they can secure his services without paying a transfer fee.
Trent has been one of Liverpool's and the Premier League's best players over the past 5 years and any move away will leave Arne Slot with a huge hole to fill.
