Liverpool fans are not happy after they believe a clip of Trent Alexander-Arnold has given the biggest hint about his future at the club yet.
With just three months remaining in what has been an exciting Premier League season for Liverpool fans, uncertainty still surrounds the futures of key players Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk. Despite being integral to Arne Slot’s squad, all three are currently set to leave as free agents when their contracts expire at the end of the season.
However, Liverpool supporters believe they may have received a major clue about Alexander-Arnold’s plans after a recent interview with the defender went viral.
Speculation over his contract has been growing since last summer, with concerns that the 26-year-old might reject an extension in favor of a move to Real Madrid, potentially reuniting with England teammate Jude Bellingham.
In his latest interview with Pro Direct Soccer, fans are convinced Alexander-Arnold may have inadvertently hinted at a future move to the Spanish giants. During the clip, he discusses the Predator Elite Tongue x Moments boots, expressing admiration for two Real Madrid legends—David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane.
One Liverpool fan reacted by pointing out the change in Alexander-Arnold’s references: “Last time I saw an interview where they gave him a pair of Preds, he couldn’t stop mentioning Gerrard. Now it’s Beckham and Zidane—haha, not subtle at all.”
While nothing is confirmed, the interview has only fueled speculation that the Liverpool star could be considering a switch to La Liga.
Another fan weighed in, suggesting that Alexander-Arnold’s future decision is an open secret: “It’s as if it’s the worst-kept secret. No one even asks him about it, while Virgil and Mo get questioned all the time. It feels like everyone at the club already knows he’s made up his mind. He’s the vice-captain and a lifelong fan, yet you’d think he’d show more effort tracking back in games.”
Another supporter echoed the frustration, writing: “This is honestly mad. One of the most important seasons ever, and he’s getting away with murder. At least make your stance clear.”
However, some fans defended Alexander-Arnold, noting that the boots he discussed in the interview feature quotes and iconic moments from Beckham and Zidane—both former Real Madrid stars—which likely explains why he spoke so highly of them rather than hinting at a potential transfer.
