The right-back is yet to commit his future to the Reds as rumours continue to suggest Los Blancos are interested in his signature.
The 25-year-old is believed to have turned down a proposal to extend his stay at Liverpool, leading to concerns he could have his sights on a Madrid move.
It was thought that the Spanish giants were looking to sign him as a free agent at the end of the season, but Dani Carvajal's recent injury could accelerate their efforts.
This is according to Sport, who claim that the Spain international's long-term spell on the sidelines could see Real move for Alexander-Arnold in January.
Los Blancos have confirmed Carvajal suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, for which he will need to undergo surgery.
The team's current natural replacement for the 32-year-old is back-up player Lucas Vazquez, who has been converted to a right-back in recent years.
