Liverpool have 'noticed' player behaving like Trent Alexander-Arnold and are 'afraid' he'll follow right-back to Real Madrid

Liverpool have reportedly noticed one of their players is 'behaving' like Trent Alexander-Arnold, with fears growing that he could follow the Englishman to Real Madrid.

Earlier in the month, it was confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

The full-back confirmed his decision by posting an emotional video on social media.

During Liverpool's first match since Alexander-Arnold's exit was confirmed, the 26-year-old was booed as he replaced Conor Bradley against Arsenal.

It has been widely reported that Alexander-Arnold will join Spanish giants Madrid upon the expiration of his Liverpool contract.

On the back of the Alexander-Arnold saga, it has been claimed that another Liverpool star could also be lured away by Los Blancos.

French defender Ibrahima Konate will be a free agent in the summer of 2026 and is yet to sign a new deal with Liverpool.

Recently, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano said: "Ibrahima Konate is in negotiations over a new deal [with Liverpool] but there is still no full agreement on some crucial points.

"Real Madrid have decided to go strongly on a new centre-back for the summer transfer window… important to mention that Konate is another name on Madrid’s list. He’s out of contract in 2026, so it’s for sure a situation to follow."

As reported by Spanish news outlet MARCA, Liverpool are 'experiencing a very strange feeling' from Konate and are beginning to 'detect ghosts very similar to those they felt just a year ago, when Alexander Arnold began to turn his back on the proposal.

Madrid are said to be closing in on a deal to sign Bournemouth's young defender Dean Huijsen.

Romano wrote on social media: "Dean Huijsen’s camp, still in Madrid today to get the deal done with final details being sorted.

"Almost there."

Madrid are back in La Liga action this weekend when they take on Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
