Real Madrid plan £75m bid for Liverpool defender

—

Real Madrid are ready to bid for Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.

With just over a year to run on his current deal, the Reds are attempting to secure Alexander-Arnold to a new contract.

The Sun says Real are willing to go as high as £75m to tempt Liverpool to sell.

Real management are seeking a successor for Dani Carvajal and Alexander-Arnold features high on their shortlist.

Chelsea captain Reece James has also been considered, though Real have pulled back due to his fitness concerns.
