Real Madrid are among the top clubs monitoring Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation at Liverpool as the defender is out of contract at Anfield in 2025. The player is currently not in talks over a new deal and Real are attentive to this situation, which is normal when a big star’s contract is close to expiring.

There has been no contact with any of the parties involved, just interest in the full-back at the moment.

Many other top clubs around Europe are aware of Alexander-Arnold’s situation as they know the Liverpool star is a big name to keep an eye on over the next 12 months.

Of course, there have been major changes at Liverpool recently behind the scenes and the Premier League club’s new board will discuss their priorities and work to understand how to handle Trent’s situation, as at the moment they’re showing no plans or desire to sell Alexander-Arnold.

The future of Eddie Nketiah at Arsenal is up in the air as there is a real possibility that the player will leave the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Although the player has played 33 games for Mikel Arteta this season, the 24-year-old could be used to make way for a new striker, which is one of the priorities in the summer for the Gunners.

Nketiah’s situation is very open but there is nothing concrete yet. There has always been interest from the Premier League and also from the Bundesliga, so I’d keep a close eye on these two solutions.

This will be an exciting transfer story to watch over the coming months.

Going back to Liverpool, Thiago Alcantara is another player whose contract is running down and his current deal will expire at the end of the season. It has been a very tough season for the player, who has played just five minutes of football so far due to injury issues.

Thiago has not decided anything about his future yet as he is waiting for the new Liverpool structure to be defined in order to discuss his situation and then make a final decision on where to play next season.

In terms of the next step for the player, there are multiple opportunities in Europe and around the world but nothing is concrete yet. It will take some time for his future to be decided.
