Real Madrid have arrived in Liverpool ahead of tonight's Champions League league phase match between the two European giants.
And according to Spanish outlet , execs from both clubs have agreed to meet for lunch just over six hours before kick off.
It's suggested that the meeting in question will cover the possibility of Real Madrid signing long-term target Alexander-Arnold.
The England right-back is hugely admired by Los Blancos and is widely reported to be the number one target for Carlo Ancelotti's side.

But he is loved on Merseyside as an academy graduate who has helped the team with the Premier League, Champions league, FA Cup and League Cup since bursting into the first team.
Marca claim that the relationship between Liverpool and Real Madrid is strong and that the Reds have already made contact with Real about their interest in Alexander-Arnold.
No contract extension has been agreed between the ball-playing full-back and Liverpool, meaning an exit on a free transfer in the summer is still a very real possibility.
And it's reported that Real Madrid are hoping that Liverpool will be open to selling Alexander-Arnold in January in order to make some money from their star man.
