Darwin Nunez teases Trent Alexander-Arnold over transfer rumours

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move to Real Madrid throughout the summer and one of his Liverpool team-mates has clearly been taking notice.

The English full-back has rejoined his team enjoying an extended summer break following the European Championship.

Alexander-Arnold fell out of the starting XI during the tournament as the Three Lions made it all the way to the final before coming up short against Spain.

He was one of six players to return to the AXA Training Centre on Sunday as Liverpool continued their pre-season preparations.  

He has just a year left on his contract at Anfield, and has been rumoured to be interested in a switch to the Bernabeu in recent months.

And Darwin Nunez couldn't resist commenting on this as the pair made their way through the facility alongside Luis Diaz. 

Nunez said to his teammate on their way to training: 'Y el Real Madrid? Chao!,' which translates to 'and Real Madrid? Ciao [or bye]'.

All three men laughed with the moment being caught on camera. 

According to talkSPORT, the Reds 'are confident he sign a new deal and extended his stay' at his boyhood club, however.

Alexander-Arnold was enjoying downtime with close friend, Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham.

Liverpool's new manager Arne Slot about Alexander-Arnold's contract can be agreed for Alexander-Arnold.

'My answer will probably be a bit boring,' he replied. 'I think it's the same answer you've heard in the last five, six or seven years.

'That contract situation is not discussed at this place but just keep trying, I would say.'

Alexander-Arnold and Bellinghame, meanwhile, have become good friends since Bellingham was introduced to the England set-up two years ago, with many wondering whether roles would be reserved and Alexander-Arnold could persuade England's star to join Liverpool before he signed for Madrid.

But that didn't happen, and the shoe is now on the other foot, with Alexander-Arnold's future up in the air and Bellingham's settled.

Earlier this week, they were seen partying together in LA, and their adventures haven't stopped there as they were once again pictured together with their entourages.

They enjoyed a meal at the renowned Nobu Malibu, which would have provided the perfect opportunity for Bellingham to sweet talk his friend over a potential move.

An agreement could be made as soon as January with Alexander-Arnold's current contract up in a year's time, with pre-contract agreements able to be made a few months out from the expiry.

It wouldn't be the first big-money free transfer Madrid have secured were that to happen, with Mbappe running down his deal at PSG in France before moving to Spain this summer.

Alexander-Arnold is one of Liverpool's most important players and a successful product of their academy.

He has made 310 appearances for the club, scored 19 goals and provided 81 assists across all competitions.

During his spell in the first-team, Alexander-Arnold has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup and Super Cup.
