Alexander-Arnold is out of contract in the summer and will likely sign for Real at that stage.
However, the Spanish club have put in a bid to secure him in January, which has been rejected.
Owen, who made the same move in his career, stated: “The very fact that Real Madrid have now made their intentions clear towards signing Trent Alexander Arnold leads me to believe that it’s only a matter of time before he signs for them.
“If he was going to sign a contract extension, Madrid wouldn’t have officially made their move.
“Secretive talks will have taken place. Huge news.”
