Trent Alexander-Arnold, the England international, is reportedly content to stay at Liverpool for the foreseeable future. Under new manager Arne Slot, the team has had a strong start to the season and currently sits second in the league, just one point behind Manchester City.
Alexander-Arnold has played in all five league matches so far but is one of three key players, alongside Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, whose contracts expire at the end of the season. If Liverpool can’t secure a new deal for him, they risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.
The 25-year-old, who has risen through the ranks at the club and made 316 appearances, has won the Premier League and the Champions League, among other honors. He has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, who are seeking a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal. If he hasn’t signed a new contract by January, he will be eligible to enter a pre-contract agreement.
No new discussions have reportedly occurred regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract, but Football Insider notes that his preference is to sign an extension and continue at Anfield.
In a recent interview, he mentioned that his decision will largely depend on the team’s success in winning trophies, which motivates him the most.
Losing Alexander-Arnold would be a significant setback for Liverpool, especially since they wouldn’t receive any compensation, which could upset the fans. If he is to remain, the club must act quickly, as other teams are likely keeping a close eye on the situation.
