Liverpool eye La Liga BREAKOUT STAR to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool is targeting a rising talent from La Liga as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
There is still doubt about what the future holds for three Liverpool players.
Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are currently in the last year of their contracts with Liverpool and could leave Anfield as free agents next summer.
The three players have the option to discuss potential free transfers with international clubs starting in January for a move at the end of the season. This situation puts added pressure on Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes to come up with viable options.

As uncertainties about their futures linger, speculation about potential replacements is starting to emerge, with several wingers being considered as possible substitutes for the influential Salah.
The possibility of Alexander-Arnold departing from Liverpool once his contract ends has led the team to start searching for new options for the right-back position.
If Alexander-Arnold decides to depart from the team, it appears that European champions Real Madrid could be the top contender interested in acquiring the defender, where he would reunite with his close friend Jude Bellingham.

Liverpool is set to have discussions with Alexander-Arnold regarding a new contract, as the local lad is being predicted to take on the role of captain for his childhood club.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Liverpool has found a potential target on their shortlist: the versatile Sevilla player Juanlu Sanchez. New information suggests that the Reds are keen on one of the emerging stars from LaLiga.
The full-back has a contract with Sevilla that lasts until 2026, so the Spanish club might need to sell Sanchez to prevent the chance of losing him without any compensation.
The report indicates that Sevilla is looking for a price of €25 million (£21 million).
Liverpool is up against rival Premier League teams Arsenal and West Ham United, both of which are keen on signing the 21-year-old player.
The Reds might already have a successor for Alexander-Arnold within their team in Conor Bradley. His impressive performances have led fans to believe that he could push Liverpool's vice-captain into a consistent midfield position during Jurgen Klopp's last season in charge.
