Liverpool were able to get the better of Real Madrid on Wednesday night in the Champions League with a 2-0 victory.
However, there is a battle between the two sides going on away from the pitch involving Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Liverpool right-back’s contract has become one of the main talking points on Merseyside with a number of players set to see their deals expire in the summer.
Real Madrid are very interested in Alexander-Arnold, who could soon depart his boyhood club on a free transfer if no new deal is agreed.
The right-back did not feature from the bench on Wednesday night against the European powerhouses but remains a hot topic of discussion.
Real Madrid sources have confirmed to TBR Football that they have talked with Liverpool about Alexander-Arnold.

Real Madrid have held Trent Alexander-Arnold talks with Liverpool
Real Madrid want a new right-back and Alexander-Arnold is one of their desired options, but the 26-year-old is yet to make a decision on his future.
Jamie Carragher slammed Mohamed Salah over his contract comments recently but TBR understands there is an offer on the table for Alexander-Arnold.
With interest from Madrid, Jude Bellingham was spotted waiting for Alexander-Arnold’s shirt outside of the dressing rooms after the game on Wednesday.
Real are under no obligation to inform Liverpool of their intentions, but, as they have done with Bayern Munich over Alphonso Davies, there is regular contact between the clubs.
Liverpool were scheduled to speak with Alexander-Arnold recently during the latest international break.
Real Madrid would be open to January deal for Alexander-Arnold
Real Madrid would actually be open to a deal in the January transfer window for the Liverpool right-back.
As expected, the Reds are still hoping to see the 26-year-old put pen-to-paper on a bumper new deal at Anfield.
TBR Football can confirm that Alexander-Arnold’s future is being discussed at the highest level at Liverpool and the prospect of selling him in January has been raised.
But if Alexander-Arnold is to depart Merseyside over the coming months, Conor Bradley’s recent performances will have provided fans with optimism over his future.
Thierry Henry praised Bradley’s display against Madrid on Wednesday night as he filled in for the in-demand Alexander-Arnold.
