Liverpool manager Arne Slot has responded to Trent Alexander-Arnold being linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The England international's contract with the Reds expires next year, but it remains to be seen if he will sign an extension.

Reports in Spain claim Los Blancos are looking Alexander-Arnold as a replacement for Dani Carvajal, who also recently raptured his ACL.
However, Slot acknowledged that players getting linked to other clubs is part of the job.
"I think you underestimate our players. These players are used to being linked with all the top clubs on a daily basis, if they have contracts or not," Slot said, as per Goal.
"If you think they're disturbed by this interest, then I think you don't do justice to how strong they are mentally and what they are used to. This is part of our job.
"I was at Feyenoord last year and they linked me with many clubs and before that and before that. This is part of this world we are living in. You just focus on what you have to do.
"Maybe if you're 17 or 18 years of age, that could be difficult for you. But Trent has won the league, has won the Champions League, Virgil and Mo the same. I don't think that is a problem for them to perform.
"That's also what we see at the moment because they're playing really well, put it that way."
