Trent Alexander-Arnold ‘makes final decision’ over Liverpool contract as bombshell Real Madrid report drops

Trent Alexander-Arnold has ‘made a final decision’ over his future as he has ‘told Liverpool’s directors’ about his next career move.

Alexander-Arnold has been at the center of intense transfer rumors, with his current contract set to expire this summer.

Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are in a similar position, but manager Arne Slot has been tight-lipped about the future of these three Liverpool players.

He commented, “Generally, I don’t discuss contract matters here. It would be a surprise if I were the one to announce that any of them have extended their deals. Keep asking—that’s your job—but you’re probably not going to get a response from me. From January 1st, things might change for you all, but they are in ongoing talks with the club. We’ll see what happens. As long as they keep playing like this, the head coach is satisfied.”

Starting Wednesday, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, and Salah are eligible to speak to foreign clubs about free transfers in July.

A sensational report from Spain suggests that Alexander-Arnold’s future is already decided. Spanish outlet Marca claims that Alexander-Arnold has informed Liverpool’s directors that he wants to join Real Madrid.

Liverpool has been working to secure a new contract for him, but the report suggests that a renewal is looking “increasingly unlikely.” The 26-year-old is said to be well aware of Real Madrid’s environment, thanks to his close friend Jude Bellingham, who made the move to Madrid in the summer of 2023.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham might become teammates at Real Madrid next season.

Alexander-Arnold has spent his entire career at Liverpool, coming through the club’s youth academy before breaking into the first team. Over the years, he has made 332 appearances, contributing to the team’s Premier League and Champions League successes. However, a move away from Liverpool seems possible this summer, as Alexander-Arnold appears poised to join Real Madrid.
