REPORT: Alexander-Arnold gives two conditions to renew Liverpool contract

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly laid out his demands for a new contract following growing interest from Real Madrid. 

The England international has entered the final six months of his current deal, prompting speculation about his future at Anfield.   

According to talkSPORT, Alexander-Arnold has two key conditions for signing a new contract with Liverpool. 

Firstly, he wants a deal of at least three years, extending his stay until the summer of 2028. 

Secondly, the defender is seeking assurances that he will eventually become club captain, a role that could become available sooner than expected if Virgil van Dijk does not sign a new contract.

Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring the situation closely and are said to be confident of securing Alexander-Arnold's signature, either for a cut-price fee in January or on a free transfer in the summer. 

The Spanish giants are reportedly prepared to offer a substantial wage increase and the opportunity to play alongside England teammate Jude Bellingham. 

Liverpool have so far rebuffed Real Madrid's advances, insisting that the right-back is not for sale this month. 

However, the club are under pressure to reach an agreement with the 26-year-old, who has been a key player for the Reds since his breakthrough.
