Contract negotiations might be the only concern for Liverpool fans right now, as everything else seems to be falling perfectly into place. Among the renewals, securing Trent Alexander-Arnold’s extension remains the top priority. The hometown hero has the potential to cement his legacy as one of the all-time greats by the end of his career.
Liverpool are reportedly confident that Alexander-Arnold will commit to a new deal at Anfield. FSG now firmly believes Alexander-Arnold will reject Real Madrid’s interest. Reports reveal the record-breaking terms of his new contract, the timeline for his signing, and how Arne Slot has played a pivotal role in persuading him to stay.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool’s vice-captain, has earned widespread recognition as one of the best right-backs in world football. His remarkable tally of 102 goal contributions (19 goals and 83 assists) in 325 appearances for the Reds equals to a contribution every 3.18 games—a statistic that underscores his immense value. Having played a pivotal role in securing seven trophies for the club, including the Champions League triumph in 2019, Alexander-Arnold’s importance to Liverpool cannot be overstated.
Graeme Bailey believes good news is just around the corner for Liverpool
As reported by Graeme Bailey, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s team has been in regular contact with Liverpool, with the player prioritising a new deal with his boyhood club. His father, Michael Arnold, a lifelong Liverpool supporter, handles his business affairs, further cementing Alexander-Arnold’s ties to Anfield. The 26-year-old has openly expressed his desire to captain the team and lift trophies, especially with Virgil van Dijk’s contract also nearing its end.
Despite showing frustration at being substituted, Alexander-Arnold has been convinced to commit his future to the club by Arne Slot’s attractive playing style and Liverpool’s strong performances this season. Liverpool are apparently ready to offer the scouser such a contract that will make him the highest paid player at the prem surpassing that of KDB’s £400,000-per-week.
Graeme Bailey writing for TBR revealed,
‘TBR Football understands Liverpool are determined to tie down Trent Alexander-Arnold and talks have been continuing with his camp in recent weeks, Bailey wrote.
‘We previously revealed that Real Madrid are interested in Alexander-Arnold and now some of Europe’s biggest clubs have joined them in the race for his signature.
‘But Liverpool sources have confirmed to us that they are highly confident that the 26-year-old will put pen to paper before Christmas on his new deal.‘Liverpool have offered him the largest contract they have ever made to a homegrown player, indeed it would put him on par with Mo Salah and make him the highest-paid English player in the Premier League.’
