Liverpool is prioritizing a new contract for Trent Alexander-Arnold ahead of the 2025 transfer window, with negotiations already in progress for the right-back. The 25-year-old’s current deal expires at the end of this season, and interest from Real Madrid has raised concerns about his future, given the prominence of the Champions League holders.
Alexander-Arnold is not the only key player facing an expiring contract in 2025; captain Virgil van Dijk and forward Mohamed Salah are also awaiting new terms. However, securing Alexander-Arnold’s renewal is the club’s main focus. Reports from Football Insider suggest they need to understand his vision for the future before finalizing any agreement.
While discussions for an extension have begun, significant progress has yet to be made. If Alexander-Arnold chooses to leave at the end of the season, Liverpool may consider replacements like Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong or monitor Juanlu Sánchez at Sevilla, but these options would only be pursued if he departs.
Liverpool cannot afford to lose Alexander-Arnold in 2025, as finding a suitable replacement for his unique talents would be extremely difficult. Since his debut in 2016, he has been a vital part of the team, contributing 19 goals and 83 assists over 317 appearances. Real Madrid’s interest underscores his exceptional skill, which is rare among players.
