It has been claimed that Liverpool superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold has already decided to join Real Madrid amid the expiration of his deal in England.

The 25-year-old has been strongly linked with the Spanish giants in recent months, having not yet committed to a new contract at the Reds.
Alexander-Arnold is rumoured to be a top target for the 15-time UEFA Champions League winners, an interest that could accelerate following the season-ending injury suffered by right-back Dani Carvajal earlier this month.
Reports have suggested that Los Blancos midfielder Jude Bellingham, a good friend of the England international, has done work behind the scenes to convince him to join the LALIGA champions.
Former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood has since claimed the Liverpool academy product is as good as gone, insisting there is "no chance" the Reds will keep him beyond this season.
"We're talking about three top-drawer players there who want to win trophies," he told Sky Sports, after being asked about the futures of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold.
"They don't want to sit there just to challenge for Champions League positions. They all want to win stuff so this start helps, it can only help.
"I think with Trent, I think he's gone. Once Real Madrid come knocking for you… he's won everything at the football club and been a magnificent servant, but there's no chance they're keeping him now, I wouldn't have thought.

"With Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, I think it's completely different because I'm not sure where they are going to go which is better than Liverpool."
