[quote]Liverpool have rejected an approach from Real Madrid to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold permanently in January.
The Spanish side made contact with the Anfield hierarchy, but their interest was immediately rebuffed on Tuesday.
The conversation did not reach the stage at which numbers were mentioned, with Liverpool offering no encouragement to Real.
Liverpool’s stance appears to kill off Alexander-Arnold leaving in January as an option, although there remains the prospect of the England international moving to the Bernabeu in the summer.
Alexander-Arnold is out of contract at the end of the season and from January 1 can officially speak to foreign clubs about a free transfer.
Real will now take that opportunity to speak to the right back and it will then be left to Alexander-Arnold to decide whether he wants to leave his boyhood club.
Liverpool have been in negotiations with the player and his representatives for several months over an extension to his existing deal.
They have not received any indication that he will leave and the player responded to claims in the Spanish media over the weekend that he had given Real his word about a move by making a talking gesture when celebrating his goal in Sunday’s 5-0 win over West Ham United.
Real made their move after a season-ending injury to Dani Carvajal left them short of a recognised right back. They would have been prepared to make a cut-price offer for Alexander-Arnold, but even though there is a risk that he could leave for nothing in the summer, Liverpool resisted any temptation to enter negotiations.
The club’s full focus is on winning the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s first season at the club and Alexander-Arnold has been an important figure in Liverpool’s surge to the top of the table.
Liverpool boast an eight-point lead at the top of the standings and face Manchester United in their next match on Sunday.[\quote][\spoiler]
