Liverpool transfer news: Trent Alexander-Arnold warned off Madrid move as star issues plea

Liverpool will be flying high this Christmas as Sunday's win over Tottenham ensured they sit four points clear at the top of the Premier League. The Reds have just two more games until the January transfer window opens. Boss Arne Slot will surely be looking to bring in reinforcements to shore up his side's push to win the title this season.
But it also means the out of contract trio of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah will be able to negotiate with overseas clubs. That is a particular concern in Alexander-Arnold's case, with Real Madrid the frontrunners to sign him.
But the right-back has now been urged to snub the Spanish giants and instead remain at Anfield. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Liverpool transfer news. Jamie Carragher has urged Trent Alexander-Arnold to sign a new contract with Liverpool and snub a move to Real Madrid. The Reds icon believes the right-back can earn a place in the club's folklore if he opts to stay.
"If Trent Alexander doesn't care about (how he's remembered) fine, but I think if he stays at the club he'll be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever play for the football club," he told Sky Sports. "If I was advising Trent, I would say...that a lot of it is the free transfer, but it's that feeling that you're leaving us for (nothing) and where's our money to replace you. I would say sign a contract, have a decent buy out clause in there that'not ridiculous and if Real Madrid want to buy you in twelve months time or two years time.".
