Liverpool has enjoyed a “flawless” start to the season and is riding high, but fans are concerned about the contracts of their three main players expiring. While Salah’s situation remains uncertain and Van Dijk has openly expressed his desire to stay, fans are left wondering about the young player who has caught the attention of Real Madrid.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has “zero chance” of leaving Anfield in the January transfer window, according to The Athletic journalist James Pearce. He dismissed recent reports suggesting that the homegrown defender could join Real Madrid in January as “absolute nonsense.”
Loyalty or titles : what lies ahead for the Englishman
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a first-team player for Liverpool since joining the squad in 2017 and now earns £180,000 per week. He has developed into one of the world’s best attacking defenders, boasting an impressive array of skills that place him as the top for all-time Premier League assists by a defender, teammate Andy Robertson behind.
However, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, concerns linger among fans about the possibility of him seeking new opportunities next summer. Despite this uncertainty, James Pearce firmly believes that Alexander-Arnold will not be leaving in the winter transfer window, dismissing such suggestions as “nonsense.”
Speaking on The Athletic’s ‘Walk On’ podcast, Pearce stated that there would be ‘zero chance’ of Alexander-Arnold moving anywhere in January, and though clubs will be keeping a very close eye on his future, there have not been talks just yet over his contract, but the situation has not changed. He said:
“There’s absolutely zero chance that Trent [Alexander-Arnold] will go anywhere in January. I mean, I saw some nonsense yesterday about Real Madrid planning a bid for him in January or something.
“I just don’t believe that’s true. And I certainly don’t believe it for a minute. [It’s] absolute nonsense.
“I mean, we’ve said previously many times, every top club in Europe will be keeping a very close eye on developments over Trent’s future, because my information at the moment is that there is no decision that’s been taken. Those talks are ongoing.”

Alexander-Arnold, however, will be 26 even at the start of next season, and he has at least a decade left to play at the top level before he begins to decline. He would be a huge asset to lose in both future value and potential moments that he could supply to Arne Slot throughout his career in a red shirt.
