The England full-back, 25, has not ruled out penning a new deal to extend his stay at Anfield.

But Real Madrid chiefs are eager to lure him to Spain.

According to Spanish outlet Relevo, the LaLiga giants have contacted Alexander-Arnold’s representatives on several occasions.

Their report adds that Real bosses feel that Alexander-Arnold’s friendship with Jude Bellingham could work to their advantage.

The duo have developed a close bond while playing for England together.

Alexander-Arnold has played 318 times for boyhood club Liverpool since debuting in 2016.

Prior to this season, he had experienced his entire club career under Jurgen Klopp.

He has started every Premier League and Champions League game so far under Klopp’s successor Arne Slot.

But in five of the eight contests, he has been substituted.

Last month, Alexander-Arnold was quizzed regarding his future.

He said: “Look, I have been at the club 20 years now.

“I have signed four or five contract extensions and none of those have been played out in public – and this one won’t be either.

“I have always said I want to captain the club – that is an aim and a goal of mine, whether that happens is out of my hands. I want to be a Liverpool player this season is what I will say.

“The most important thing is always trophies if I am honest. This season we are looking really good.”

Alexander-Arnold has so far won a Premier League title, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and Club World Cup with the Reds.

While he has also earned 31 England caps.

The right-back isn’t the only Liverpool key man set to be out of contract next summer.

Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah‘s deals are also set to expire in June 2025.

Slot, 46, was this morning asked about the contract statuses of his three key men.

He said: “Contracts? I was hoping you didn’t use that word.

“It’s the same boring answer as always and I could really understand if you ask me this every two weeks but every other day.

“People think I am boring with the same answer. Try asking after the international break.”

Stephen reveals he has four children[/caption]

The pair instantly hit it off, with the smitten bride telling her new husband that “he’s really cute”.

But at the wedding reception, Stephen drops a huge bombshell telling her that he is father to four children.

“I’ve got four children,” he confesses.

Hannah is gobsmacked and exclaims: “FOUR!”

Speaking to the camera, she says: “Four is a lot.”

Hannah is then seen telling some of the wedding guests, while Stephen admits: “My kids do come first.”

It comes after The Sun revealed this week the new contestants joining the experiment in a bid to find love.

And last night new bride Amy was left squirming in horror as her new husband struggled to keep his hands off her on their wedding day.

Wedding planner Amy and prison education manager Luke were instantly physically attracted to each other.

But despite this, Luke’s left his wife with the “ick” after he showered her with compliments and overly affectionate gestures.

The pair try to get to know each other better while posing for their wedding photos.

Amy asked: “How old are you?,” with Luke responding: “I’m 30. You’re younger than me?”

Amy replies: “I’m 27.”

Speaking to the camera, Luke gushed: “I feel amazing, Amy is amazing.

“I can look at her and feel really warm inside.

“I’m not a doctor but I know she’s good for my circulation.”

But Amy shared her fears, saying: “I feel he’s attractive but being so close to somebody that I’ve never met before is a little bit awkward.”

The pair then revealed to each other their horoscopes, as the smitten lad told her: “We’re water and fire. I need need to cool off – you boil me, steamy.”

But his cheeky compliments haven’t gone down well with his new Mrs.

She admited later to the camera: “Luke is definitely really charming but some of the comments he is making, I’m not sure how to react to them.

“I think he’s just very flirty and I’m not used to it.”

He then asked: “What do you like to do? Apart from looking amazing, showing off your clavicles…”

Awkwardly laughing, Amy replied: “I like baking, cooking, you’ll have to test it.”

He quipped back: “I eat with my eyes, so I’m already full.”

Aside from the flattering remarks, Amy admitted she also put off by him being overly “touchy feely” as he twiddled her fingers.

Amy then confessed that he’s given her the “ick” and is left cringed out by her new fella.
