According to The Sun, “Real”, which is considered the main contender for the 26-year-old player, does not want to wait for the contract to expire and plans to sign the Englishman before the start of the club World Cup. The tournament will begin on June 14.

If Trent and “Liverpool” do not agree to terminate the contract early, “Real” will have to pay for the player's transfer.
