Liverpool are reportedly prepared to offer Trent Alexander-Arnold a significantly improved contract to ward off interest from Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold has registered 19 goals and 81 assists in 310 first-team appearances since coming through the youth ranks at Anfield.
The full-back has helped his boyhood club win eight trophies, including the 2019-20 Premier League title and the 2018-19 Champions League.
Alexander-Arnold is currently enjoying a break after making four appearances in England's run to the Euro 2024 final.

Liverpool set to offer Alexander-Arnold lucrative contract
While the defender may be on holiday, that has not stopped his Liverpool future from becoming the subject of much speculation.
Having entered the final year of his Liverpool contract, Alexander-Arnold has emerged as a target for European champions Real Madrid.
Los Blancos seemingly view the 25-year-old as a potential successor to Dani Carvajal, who is out of contract at the end of the 2024-25 season.
With Real Madrid circling, The Sun are reporting that Liverpool will offer Alexander-Arnold a 'monstrous' new contract to keep him at the club.
The report also claims that Alexander-Arnold is committed to Liverpool for the upcoming campaign and is excited to be part of the new era under Reds boss Arne Slot.

Could Alexander-Arnold still leave this summer?
As it stands, it seems likely that the England international will remain with the Merseyside club for at least one more season.
However, that situation could change if Alexander-Arnold is reluctant to extend his deal beyond the summer of 2025.
Such a scenario would force Liverpool to consider a sale due to the risk of letting Alexander-Arnold walk away for nothing at the end of the season.
There is a belief that the Reds will demand around €80m (£67m) this summer if the player decides against a contract renewal.
