LIVERPOOL boss Arne Slot has warned excessive transfer fees could prevent him from signing a tailor-made replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool boss Slot fears transfer fees as he looks to replace Alexander-Arnold

The England right-back, whose contract expires in June, announced on Monday he would be leaving Liverpool, a club he has been with since he was a young boy, with the 26-year-old saying it was "easily the hardest decision I've ever made in my life".

Alexander-Arnold's future has been the subject of intense speculation this season, with the defender widely tipped to join Spanish giants Real Madrid after helping Liverpool win this season's Premier League.

His exit leaves Liverpool short of cover in his position, with 21-year-old Conor Bradley, who has made 54 senior appearances, now their only recognised right-back.

"I think it would be a surprise if I were to tell you now 'Yes, we we are looking at this and looking at that," Slot told a pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow's game at home to Arsenal, currently second in the Premier League.
