Real Madrid's Pursuit of Liverpool Stars Hits Roadblock
In a surprising twist for Real Madrid fans, two Liverpool stars linked to a potential move to the Spanish capital have decided to remain at Anfield. Reports indicate one player has shown 'no interest' in leaving, while another's departure has been deemed 'impossible'.
Liverpool is riding high, having extended their lead over second-placed Arsenal to a staggering 13 points as of last weekend. Adding to the jubilant atmosphere, Mohamed Salah recently signed a two-year contract extension, and Virgil van Dijk also confirmed a new deal with the club.
Madrid's Recent Setback and Managerial Uncertainty
Over in Madrid, the mood is less jubilant following a crushing Champions League defeat to Arsenal, where they exited in the quarter-finals with a dismal 5-1 aggregate score. In light of this setback, Sky Sports reports that Carlo Ancelotti is set to be sacked following the Copa del Rey final on April 26.
Real Madrid Eyes Trent Alexander-Arnold as Future Star
Amidst this chaos, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been eyeing a potential move to the Bernabeu, especially given that the Englishman would be a free agent by then, meaning no transfer fee would be involved.
Liverpool Midfield Duo Off the Market
However, recent gossip linking Liverpool midfielders Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister to Real Madrid has fizzled out. Gravenberch's agent had expressed a desire for his client to play for Madrid, but The Daily Mail clarified that this was more about the agent's aspirations rather than any concrete transfer plans.
Furthermore, Alexis Mac Allister's father, a former footballer himself, has swiftly dismissed rumors surrounding his son's departure. He emphasized, "Alexis is very happy at Liverpool and hopes to be crowned Premier League champion." He also highlighted Mac Allister's contract, which runs until 2028.

The Mirror further solidified the stance on these players, asserting that both Gravenberch and Mac Allister have no intention of moving to Real Madrid, regardless of any interest from the Spanish giants.
What's Next for Liverpool and Real Madrid?
As Liverpool continues its thrilling campaign, fans will be keenly watching for any more developments. Meanwhile, Real Madrid must regroup and rethink its strategy, as the champions face a season rife with challenges.
