Recent reports indicate that Gary Lineker has encouraged Trent Alexander-Arnold to depart from Liverpool and contemplate a move to his former club, Barcelona.
Liverpool have had a successful beginning to the Premier League season, securing victory in seven out of their first eight matches. There have been rumors that Alexander-Arnold may leave Anfield, as Real Madrid has shown considerable interest in the player.
Reports on Tuesday indicated a high likelihood of the right-back transferring to Madrid in January. Spanish media now report that Alexander-Arnold is being pursued by multiple elite clubs and has declined all contract proposals from Liverpool.
Real Madrid is said to be in search of a reliable substitute for Dani Carvajal, while Barcelona is aiming to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire the English full-back through a no-cost transfer.
