Real Madrid are starting to accept that Trent Alexander-Arnold will stay at Liverpool in this window. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.

Alexander-Arnold’s current contract expires this summer, and negotiations to extend his stay at Anfield have faltered. Unlike teammates Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have publicly addressed their contract situations, Alexander-Arnold has stayed silent, a move widely perceived as calculated.

The biggest target elsewhere is Mathys Tel, who appeared to bid goodbye to Bayern Munich fans on teh pitch last night and is the subject of a bidding war involving Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and, potentially Arsenal. Spurs have also been linked with Yoane Wissa, Noah Okafor, Tyler Dibling and Angel Gomes.

Real Madrid are ready to make a new bid for Liverpool and England international right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the January transfer window.

Real Madrid have been advised to sign a second Liverpool player as they look to bring England star Trent Alexander-Arnold to the Bernabeu. Alexander-Arnold is expected to move to the Spanish capital in the summer after emerging as a key transfer target for La Liga giants Madrid.

If you want to go even cheaper, Dean Huijsen (£4.4m) is also a fine pick. He is £0.4m cheaper than his team-mate and is nailed-on in that first team with Marcos Senesi (£4.6m) out until April.

Madrid's interest in the 26-year-old is no secret and he could still end up at the Bernabeu. If he does not sign a new contract then he will be able to leave for free after his current deal expires on June 30.
