Real Madrid has emerged as the frontrunner to secure Alexander-Arnold's services, with the Spanish giants already making overtures to finalize a pre-contract agreement. According to Diario AS, the deal is "90% done," with Real Madrid exuding confidence in their ability to wrap up the signing in January.

The prospect of Alexander-Arnold joining forces with fellow Englishman Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabeu is a tantalizing one. Should Real Madrid succeed in securing the right-back's signature, it would represent a major coup for the club, as they would be acquiring arguably the world's best right-back on a free transfer.

While Liverpool fans could lose a prized asset, Madridistas are eagerly anticipating the arrival of a world-class talent to bolster their squad.
