Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is close to a move to Real Madrid in the summer as his contract expires, according to The Athletic.
The last 10 years of Liverpool have been headlined by three players: Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold. Salah, the superstar up front. Van Dijk, the captain in defense. And Alexander-Arnold, one of Liverpool's own.
Despite uncertainty surrounding all three players' futures at the club as we head toward an important summer for Arne Slot, Alexander-Arnold appears to be the first domino to fall. At just 26-years-old, his departure opens up a major hole in the squad. Slot's been praised for the work he's done in his debut campaign in terms of improving players like Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and others, but his first real squad challenge comes in replacing Alexander-Arnold.
Here are five replacement options for Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool next season.
