The reason why Trent Alexander-Arnold has not signed a contract extension at Liverpool has been revealed. This is the last thing any Liverpool fan would like to hear😱 Nobody thought of it!
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s recent displays for England have temporarily shifted focus away from the uncertainty surrounding his future at Liverpool.
The vice-captain, along with teammates Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, has a contract that is due to expire next June, prompting widespread speculation about their potential departure from the club.
As reported by Graeme Bailey of TBR Football, the 25-year-old is taking his time before making any decisions as he assesses the progress under new manager Arne Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp over the summer.
However, Bailey mentions that Trent is enjoying his time working with Slot, which boosts Liverpool’s chances of retaining him. A lucrative five-year contract worth over £300,000 per week is reportedly on the table if he opts to stay.
Bailey’s update offers a positive sign that Trent may renew his contract, putting to rest rumors of his possible exit.
Despite speculations from figures like Graeme Souness regarding a potential move to Real Madrid, Trent suggested after the recent win against Manchester United that he plans to remain with Liverpool.
The proposed salary increase from his current £180,000 per week, coupled with Liverpool’s strong start to the season under Slot, are factors that may sway his decision.
Furthermore, with Van Dijk set to turn 34 next summer, Trent could be in line to become the club’s full-time captain, following in the tradition of Steven Gerrard.
His outstanding performances for both Liverpool and England underscore the importance of securing his long-term commitment, and all signs currently suggest that the club is well-positioned to do so.
