Liverpool have rejected an approach from Real Madrid to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in January.
The 26-year-old full-back's contract expires in the summer and Mail Sport reported at the weekend how the Spanish champions are confident they can tempt him to join them.
But with veteran right-back Dani Carvajal injured, Carlo Ancelotti's men have now attempted to sign Alexander-Arnold. It was a club-to-club approach rather than a formal or monetary offer.
Liverpool quickly rejected that approach.
The Premier League leaders have been in dialogue with Alexander-Arnold and his team and are keen to extend his contract, as well as the deals of Mohamed Salah and captain Virgil van Dijk.
Alexander-Arnold has a big decision to make about his future, but to this point he has given Liverpool no indication that he wants to leave.
