The England right-back is currently in the final year of his contract at Anfield.
The defender has spent the entirety of his football career with the Reds, joining their youth academy when he was six years old, and is now an established member of the first team.
He has won every club competition he has competed in with the side, and while the Merseysiders have seemingly given him the opportunity to become one of the best right-backs in the world, it appears the 25-year-old is nearing an exit from his boyhood club.
According to Relevo, Alexander-Arnold has snubbed all extension offers the club have so far tabled.
Europe's other elite sides have thus taken notice, and some are seemingly looking to take advantage of the situation, most notably Real Madrid.
The same report claims that Los Blancos did not initially plan to recruit the 31-cap England international, but with months remaining on his existing contract, they are said to view this as a market opportunity they cannot pass up.
Their current right-back options are Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez, while seemingly still adept enough to contribute for the European and Spanish champions, are 32 and 33 years old, respectively.
Signing the Englishman would give them long-term cover in the position and also give them a player who is versatile enough to play in midfield if required too.
in the off-season Alexander-Arnold spent some of his holiday with Real star Jude Bellingham, and it is believed the attacking midfielder has played a part in potentially turning the set-piece specialist's head.
