Trent Alexander-Arnold set for Liverpool extension If conditions are met

Liverpool are facing a unique situation with three key players – Virgil Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold – all entering the final year of their contracts. Despite the team’s strong performance under new manager Arne Slot, currently sitting second in the league, much of the focus this season has been on the uncertain future of these stars.

The Scouser, who has been with the club his entire career, has made an impressive 316 appearances and contributed to 100 goals. At 25 years old, he’s publicly expressed his desire to become a club legend. However, with less than 10 months remaining on his £180,000-per-week contract, according to Spotrac, the risk of losing him is growing.

If no extension is agreed, he could become a free agent by the end of the season and begin negotiating with clubs outside England in January. One potential suitor is Real Madrid gearing up for their 16th.

How Liverpool can make the Scouser Stay

According to Football Insider, Alexander-Arnold has decided to sign a new contract at Liverpool only if the club can match his European and Domestic Dreams.

The player is eager to win more trophies and expand his medal collection but seeks guarantees from the club that they will target top-tier signings in the transfer market. The England international has enjoyed a strong season with Liverpool, securing his spot with the national team. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s interest in him persists, with the Spanish giants able to negotiate a pre-contract as early as January. Liverpool’s quiet summer window, with only Federico Chiesa joining, likely raised concerns for the right-back. The Englishman also wishes for the opportunity to become captain of his boyhood club during his tenure.
