Liverpool boss Arne Slot says "the outside world does not know what is going to happen" with Trent Alexander-Arnold's future, amid reports that he will join Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Alexander-Arnold is injured and not expected back for a few weeks, but his future dominated the international break as speculation swirled about the defender agreeing to move to Spain on a free transfer in the summer when his deal runs out.

Sky Sports News understands Real Madrid are progressing in talks over a deal for Alexander-Arnold, who has not pursued the possibility of agreeing an improved contract with Liverpool, but there is still much to be sorted and no guarantee the deal happens.
