Liverpool superstar spotted with Jude Bellingham amid Real Madrid transfer links, video emerges of pair heading out to dinner

Liverpool superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold was spotted heading to dinner with Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham during the duo's time off. This video (courtesy @MirrorFootball on X), which has emerged of the pair, seems to have furthered speculations of the right-back's potential move to Santiago Bernabeu.

Both players are enjoying their time off after England's Euro 2024 campaign, which saw them suffer a defeat in the final to Spain. With the European Championships now complete, there is time for Alexander-Arnold to focus on his future.

The rumors of the 25-year-old's move to the Spanish capital have been attributed to the fact that he has a year left on his deal at Anfield (via Football Espana). With the possibility that they could lose the English defender for free in 2025, the Reds may wish to cash in this summer.

Los Blancos are also looking for a long-term Dani Carvajal replacement, with the Spain international also entering the final year of his deal in Madrid. He's also 32 years old and will be entering the back end of his career.

Therefore, it seems reasonable that Real Madrid are linked with Trent Alexander-Arnold, given the Liverpool star's abilities. He's known for the incredible passing range he possesses, which is often on display in the Premier League.

To date, Alexander-Arnold has made 310 appearances across competitions for the Merseysiders, bagging 19 goals and 81 assists. He's won the Premier League and UEFA Champions League once each, among other honors with the club.

The chance to join the 15-time Champions League winners may prove too much for the player to turn down if an offer does indeed come his way.

Liverpool may have Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement lined up, with Jeremie Frimpong dreaming of move to Anfield

Jeremie Frimpong

Liverpool could have a simple option to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer if the England international indeed decides to complete a move to Real Madrid.

According to reports, Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong has been linked with the Reds and is said to want to join the Merseysiders (via FourFourTwo). However, this report also claims that the Netherlands international would also love to represent Real Madrid or Manchester City.

Of course, Frimpong would be a good choice, given he's an attacking full-back. However, securing his services won't be a cheap affair, with the 23-year-old left with four years on his contract. Some reports have also stated that his €40 million release clause may have to be met in order to complete the transfer.
