Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has entered the final year of his contract at Anfield, raising questions about his future.
The right-back has been a key player for Liverpool during their successful period under former manager Jurgen Klopp. He is not alone in facing uncertainty, as teammates Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk are also in the last year of their contracts with the club.
His recent remarks will likely reassure Liverpool fans, as the England international hinted at a desire to remain at the club and expressed enthusiasm about working with new manager Arne Slot.
After Liverpool’s Champions League match against AC Milan, he stated, “For me, it was just an excitement to work under a new manager that I’ve never had before.”
Alexander-Arnold has been linked to a potential move to Real Madrid, largely due to his close friendship with England midfielder Jude Bellingham. The Spanish club has shown interest in him, and acquiring him for free at the end of the season would be advantageous.
However, the right-back has conveyed his excitement about playing for Slot, and despite a surprising loss to Nottingham Forest in their last Premier League match, the new season has started positively for Liverpool.
As of now, the Reds have not initiated contract discussions with Alexander-Arnold. If negotiations extend into January, he could sign a pre-contract agreement with another club.
