New Liverpool boss Arne Slot must make some big decisions about the futures of some of his top stars as they head into the final year of their deals.
Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are now in the final year of the current deals leaving their futures at the club unclear.
In recent weeks Real Madrid have been linked with making a possible move for Alexander-Arnold, and one former Red believes it's a transfer the England man could be tempted by.
Talking to fairbettingsites.co.uk, David James says the full-back could look for a new challenge if a move to the Bernabeu became a possibility.
He said: “Trent Alexander-Arnold’s career is one of those really unique ones. He’s one of the very few players to come all the way through Liverpool’s system to win everything.
“At the Euros, he started the first game, came on for the penalty shootout against Switzerland and scored, but then didn’t feature. For an individual, though, there are times where you figure out you should be getting more out of what you’re doing.
“Having had suffered with plenty of criticism throughout the last few years – and this becomes a career thing rather than a momentary thing – I could understand if Trent wanted to go elsewhere like Real Madrid and look for a new challenge."
