Real Madrid are in talks over finalising the signing of Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer this summer.
Discussions over the protracted transfer are ongoing as the Spanish side look to secure the England international before the start of next season.
Multiple sources close to the negotiations have told BBC Sport that while a deal is still to be fully agreed, work towards completing the transfer is reaching the closing stages - though nothing has been signed yet.
Alexander-Arnold is in the final three months of his contract at Liverpool and is free to discuss a move abroad.
Real have made the 26-year-old a priority target this summer with sources close to the situation saying the Spanish club have been tracking the player for close to two years.
Alexander-Arnold has spent his entire career at Anfield, coming through the academy to make more than 300 appearances for the club.
He has won every major trophy while playing for Liverpool and is the club's vice-captain.
