Reports coming out of Spain would have fans believe that Trent Alexander-Arnold has already made his mind up about his Liverpool future.
Spanish outlet Marca claimed that the Reds are of the mind that their star fullback won’t extend his Anfield contract (currently due to expire in the summer of 2025).
This hasn’t been helped by the noise around the club, with former Red Mark Lawrenson stating his belief that a transfer to Real Madrid has already been agreed.
Trent Alexander-Arnold hasn’t decided he won’t renew Liverpool contract
The ever-reliable Paul Joyce of The Times now reports there is nothing to fear over Marca’s update, as ‘Liverpool have said the claim is incorrect’.
This position has certainly been reinforced in other updates, with our No.66 understood to be more than happy to be patient while the cub comes up with a suitable contract offer.
Mind, he won’t be patient for too long – we’ve 74 days left in the calendar until Trent Alexander-Arnold can begin negotiations with overseas clubs on January 1.
Liverpool, for their part, might not feel the pressure over talks with their expiring trio, but the clock is ticking.
Liverpool can’t afford Trent Alexander-Arnold moving to Real Madrid
Yes, the argument could be made that top players sign for European behemoths Real Madrid all the time.
Liverpool, certainly, are no strangers to seeing their top talent depart for the Spanish capital. But there can be no excuses around the future of our vice-skipper.
Talismanic manager Jurgen Klopp may have departed but we’re continuing to thrive under new boss Arne Slot and are outperforming our initial expectations.
Alexander-Arnold wouldn’t be jumping from a sinking ship or a club deep in the throes of transition. In fact, there’s a growing body of evidence suggesting that we can compete for major honours this term. A further three points secured against Chelsea on Sunday (and, perhaps, a major result against Arsenal the following week) would only reinforce that.
We have the argument; it just remains to be seen whether we’ll have the money to ensure our Academy graduate commits his best years to the red half of Merseyside.
There’s no getting around the fact, of course, that it would be a devastating blow to Liverpool’s squad and image to see the 26-year-old move to Real Madrid in the summer.
Marca is basically a Real Madrid mouthpiece which they regularly use to tap up players so I never believe a word they publish. Liverpool have brought this situation on themselves but it really is time for Trent to either pledge his future to the club or move on. No player is or has ever been bigger than LFC.
That’s exactly my point as well, if Anorld is of a view that he wants to leave he must go. Why is he not committing himself to the club? I am of the opinion that he must leave immediately, otherwise he will become a snake in the dressing room. I don’t welcome brainless sensationalisations about his exaggerated untouchability. Liverpool will win anything without him. The club is an institution, Arnold is just Arnold. He is a product of the club’s patience and it’s being incredibly naive of him to start fooling himself with such poisonous thoughts like he is bigger than the club. Let him go.
Well if he reads your comment he’ll more than likely be on the very next plane to Madrid. You obviously don’t like him and and can’t even spell his name right.
If you honestly believe he should leave immediately otherwise he will become a snake in the dressing room then there’s no hope for him. Makes you wonder why he’s been appointed vice captain in the first place then doesn’t it and speaks volumes for those that appointed him, Klopp must be a very poor judge of character.
Again there’s no need to worry if he leaves as, according to you we will win anything without him and, after all, Arnold is just Arnold and is fooling himself with poisonous thought about him being bigger than the club,,,let him go.
If he does ever read your comments, he will be on the next plane to Madrid and that will be the last we ever see him.
I only wish you were on that plane, never to be seen or heard of again.
He’s negotiating at the moment for the biggest contract he’ll ever sign to keep him at the club he’s been since joining through the Academy.
It’s a bit like buying a house, you never accept the first offer and there will probably be a few more offers in the table before he accepts. That’s life and I know he’ll take what’s in offer when it matches his own expectations.
Just hope he doesn’t read this trash before he does.
The problem of Trent contract renewal is , we have no idea what is exactly going on between LFC and Trent. But I may say whoever move away from Liverpool will regreted it later!!!
It is up to trent to chose the course of action but we love to see him hugging around until retirement.
Exactly well said
Let’s get it straight, Liverpool do their business behind closed doors,players are happy club is happy,ITS Only MEDIA and other mouth pieces wanting to be heard with their made up transfer exclusive,it’s comical reading and listening to everyone, TRENT IS A LIVERPOOL PLAYER UNTIL HIM AND THE THE CLUB DECIDE TO SAY OTHERWISE…THE END
