Liverpool superstar pictured signing Real Madrid shirt

Real Madrid have not splashed out in the transfer market in recent years like they used to do in previous eras. That has not stopped them from signing some of the best players around the world though. Their new strategy seems to revolve around waiting for players' contracts to run down before they make their move.

They managed to sign Kylian Mbappe as a free agent this summer. In the past, they have done the same with players like Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba. And now, it looks like there are a few other similar deals on their radar.

Of course, there has already been a lot of talk regarding Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich. But it looks like Real Madrid are looking to strengthen in the opposite full-back position as well and have been heavily linked with Trent Alexander-Arnold in recent weeks.

Trent has already established himself as a Liverpool hero. Having come up through their academy, he has everything possible with The Reds. With his contract set to run out next summer, could he be looking for a change in scenery in the future?

As reported by talkSPORT, in an image posted on social media, Trent can be seen signing a Real Madrid shirt belonging to a young fan in the United States. On the other hand, Liverpool are confident he will sign a new deal and extend his stay at his boyhood club.

In the era of social media, things like these often end up catching the attention of a lot of people. But ultimately, there might not be much to it. It is very possible that Trent just did not want to disappoint the fan.

Some rumours have emerged in recent days though which suggest that a move to Real Madrid would interest the England international. He is good friends with Jude Bellingham.
