Liverpool are actively seeking a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold amid uncertainties surrounding his contract renewal and interest from Real Madrid. The 26-year-old right-back’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and despite Liverpool’s efforts to secure his future with a substantial five-year offer worth £78 million (£300,000 per week), Alexander-Arnold has yet to commit to new terms.

Real Madrid has expressed a strong interest in acquiring Alexander-Arnold, even making a £20 million bid to secure his services during the January transfer window. Liverpool, however, rejected this offer, emphasizing their desire to retain the player for the remainder of the season as they compete for the Premier League title and Champions League glory.

In anticipation of a potential departure, Liverpool has identified several candidates to fill the right-back position. One prominent target is Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, a versatile player capable of excelling both as a right-back and in central midfield. Kimmich’s contract with Bayern is also set to expire at the end of the season, making him an attractive option for Liverpool.
