It’s no secret that Alexander-Arnold is a key target for Real Madrid given their propensity for signing superstars on dwindling contracts, with Kylian Mbappe being the latest example in a long list.

Indeed, 25 years ago the same was true of Steve McManaman, and there are worrying parallels with the ongoing situation.

In his latest update on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano said: "What I’m told is that today, Real Madrid are not negotiating with Alexander-Arnold – they are not discussing terms of a contract, salary, or project.”

Landmark FIFA decision revolutionises player transfers

Lassana Diarra

Following a long-running legal dispute with FIFA, former Chelsea and Arsenal player Lassana Diarra has won a landmark decision after his case was victorious in the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

The ECJ found that Diarra was right to challenge his wrongful contract termination at Lokomotiv Moscow in 2014 - a decision that could drastically revolutionise how transfers are conducted across Europe.

After leaving the Russian club, Diarra then agreed to join Belgian club Charleroi, although FIFA refused to issue the club with an International Transfer Certificate (ITC), which is an essential part of registering a newly signed player, so the move collapsed.

This tactic from FIFA, was today agreed to have been illegal - breaching the EU's freedom of movement and competition law - a substantial victory for Diarra's legal team, but a decision which will now result in significantly relaxed conditions surrounding player power in the transfer market.

Mo Salah’s contract has been one of the main talking points around the entirety of Liverpool this season.

The talismanic attacker - along with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk - has his contract expiring at the end of the season. And whilst fans would never want to see a club legend go, the current rumours are that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is readying a monumental deal to secure his services.

Speaking on The Inside Scoop, current Real Madrid centre-back Antonio Rudiger weighed in on his experiences with Salah during their days together at AS Roma.

He revealed that Salah let him know that he would be off to Anfield, where he has taken his game to another level.

Despite only being at the club for a number of months, Arne Slot has already made an impact and currently has Liverpool top of the Premier League.

The Dutchman has also done so without splashing the cash at Liverpool, with Federico Chiesa being the only senior addition to the squad this summer.

However, it is being reported that Liverpool could be about to re-enter the transfer market in order to further strengthen Slot’s squad and after being linked with Liverpool constantly during the summer Ederson, the 25-year-old midfielder who currently plays for Atalanta, is now being linked again.

According to TBR Football, Liverpool are interested in the Brazilian and sent scouts to watch Atalanta’s recent Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk and the midfielder is open to a move to the Premier League in 2025.

Liverpool are thriving under new head coach Arne Slot and the Reds now have the chance to get one over on two of their biggest rivals.

Despite opening the season with a remarkable amount of defensive stability, the Reds may be looking at ensuring their defensive strength continues long into the future with the addition of a new centre-back.

Branthwaite is widely regarded as one of Everton’s best players, and while it would wind the Toffees up to no end to see their star man playing for Liverpool, the 22-year-old has also been the subject of heavy interest from Manchester United.
