Outgoing Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is poised to sign a six-year contract with Real Madrid which will take effect from 1 July.

Real Madrid are ready to pay Liverpool a fee to sign England right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, 26, before the Club World Cup in June.

Real Madrid are ready to step up their pursuit of Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the Spanish giants confident of signing the 26-year-old England international.

Liverpool's resolve to keep Alexander-Arnold for the rest of this season will be tested by a second approach from Real Madrid in January.

Real Madrid would prefer to sign England right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in January, but are willing to wait until the summer when his contract expires if Liverpool do not want to sell the 26-year-old next month.
