Liverpool manager Arne Slot says defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is “fully focused” on returning to fitness following reports that he in talks to join Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold is out of contract at the end of the season, is in advanced talks with Real Madrid over a free transfer to the Bernabeu.

The full-back missed England’s World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia after sustaining an ankle injury in Liverpool’s Champions League last-16 defeat by Paris St-Germain in March.

Slot says the 26-year-old is only focused on returning from injury.

Alexander-Arnold is one of three high-profile Liverpool players out of contract at the end of the season, with captain Virgil van Dijk and forward Mohamed Salah yet to sign new deals at the club.
