Liverpool fans have been anxiously following the ongoing speculation surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future, with fresh reports suggesting Real Madrid are keen to secure the England star’s signature.

Fabrizio Romano drops latest update on Trent Alexander-Arnold amid Real Madrid links

However, renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided clarity on the situation, offering a much-needed update for Reds supporters.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano emphasized that Alexander-Arnold will not be leaving Anfield in the January transfer window.

“January is not the Trent transfer window,” he assured.

“He will finish the season with Liverpool, and his full focus remains on the team. Liverpool are doing fantastic, and Trent is doing fantastic—everything is under control for now.”

Despite confirming Real Madrid’s long-standing interest in the 26-year-old, Romano dismissed claims of an agreement between the player and the Spanish giants.

He revealed that Los Blancos have been monitoring the right-back since March, describing him as a “top target.”

However, he stressed that “nothing is agreed, nothing is done, and nothing has been communicated.”

With only six months left on his current Liverpool contract, Alexander-Arnold will soon be free to negotiate with foreign clubs.

Real Madrid are expected to step up their efforts once January arrives, officially opening the door for discussions.

While the La Liga side’s intent to secure the Reds’ vice-captain is clear, Romano highlighted that Liverpool are still very much in the race to retain their academy graduate.

This latest twist adds another layer to a saga that has captivated fans on Merseyside and beyond.

While Spanish outlet Marca recently claimed that Trent has expressed a desire to join Madrid, Liverpool Echo journalist Theo Squires countered those claims, stating the player has not communicated any such intentions.

For now, Alexander-Arnold’s focus remains on Liverpool’s promising season. As the speculation swirls, fans will be hoping the club can convince their homegrown star to remain at Anfield, resisting the allure of the Bernabeu.

This is one transfer story that promises to dominate the headlines well into the summer.
