According to TBR Football, Liverpool are preparing a lucrative contract offer that would make Alexander-Arnold the highest-paid English player in the Premier League. The Reds are determined to keep hold of the versatile defender, who has been a key player under new manager Arne Slot.

The news of Liverpool's counter-offer will come as a blow to Real Madrid, who have been monitoring Alexander-Arnold's situation closely. The Spanish giants have identified the England international as a potential long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal.

However, with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain also keeping tabs on the situation, Real Madrid face a tough battle to secure Alexander-Arnold's signature. It remains to be seen whether the player will be tempted by the prospect of a move to one of Europe's biggest clubs or will decide to stay at Anfield.
