<p>Alexander-Arnold has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid as Los Blancos look to unite the right-back with his England team-mate and good friend, Jude Bellingham, at Santiago Bernabeu. Reports have suggested that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-trent-asap-los-blancos-free-transfer-liverpool-alexander-arnold/blt1ea86edff6f696f9" target="_blank">Real Madrid are nearing a free transfer agreement for the 26-year-old</a> as his contract with the Reds runs out this summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Questions have been raised by the media and Liverpool fans over the last couple of weeks <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/disgust-liverpool-fans-spot-cold-reception-trent-alexander-arnold-return-training-amid-talk-real-madrid-agreement/blt0bfa78359dbd72b2" target="_blank">about Alexander-Arnold's commitment towards the Reds</a> for the rest of the season. However, Liverpool boss Slot has insisted that the right-back remains "focused" on recovering from his hamstring and getting back on the pitch for his current club.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Slot told reporters when asked to comment on Alexander-Arnold's proposed move to Real: "His situation is that unfortunately, he is injured. Otherwise, people probably would have spoken about him having one or two brilliant performances for the England team.</p><p>"But he is injured, so for him he is fully focused on his recovery, and for us, we are trying to help him to be back as early as he can."</p>

WHAT SLOT SAID

<p>Alexander-Arnold will be looking to end his stint at Liverpool with his second domestic crown, as Slot's side sit 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League with just nine games to go. The Reds are due back in action on Wednesday when they host Everton in a Merseyside derby clash.</p>
