Trent Alexander-Arnold is already considered one of Liverpool’s greatest players, despite not yet reaching the peak of his career. The young right-back, who emerged from Liverpool’s youth academy under Jurgen Klopp, has established himself as one of the best in the Premier League era. He played a crucial role in ending Liverpool’s 30-year wait for an English league title, winning multiple trophies with his boyhood club.
However, a new chapter begins at Liverpool with Arne Slot replacing Klopp, who left in May. Alexander-Arnold, currently on holiday after England’s Euro 2024 final run, recently shared his first conversation with Slot. Yet, the star player’s future remains uncertain, as he has only 12 months left on his current contract with Liverpool.
During his holiday, Alexander-Arnold was seen with Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham and even signed a Real Madrid shirt for a fan, sparking speculation about a potential move to the Spanish club. Former Premier League midfielder Jamie O’Hara criticized this action, calling it “poor” and suggesting it indicates Alexander-Arnold might leave Liverpool for Real Madrid.
However, some believe the reaction to Alexander-Arnold’s actions is overblown, arguing he remains loyal to Liverpool. The real concern is why the club has allowed key players, including Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, to enter the final year of their contracts. With the new Premier League season approaching, decisions on these players’ futures are becoming increasingly urgent.
