Trent Alexander-Arnold refused to comment on his future after he had sent Liverpool fans in a frenzy with his celebration of the winning goal of the Reds against Leicester.
The bent strike by the Englishman moved the side of Arne Slot inside a victory of the Premier League title and sentenced the Foxes to an immediate return to the championship.
But the passionate response from Alexander -Arnold – in which he tore his shirt, shot for the traveling support and roared to the assembled masses – let many look for answers.
The right back, whose contract with Anfield ends at the end of the season, is strongly connected to a move to Real Madrid, while recent new deals for Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have only raised the spotlight on the 26-year-old.
“Look, I said the whole season that I am not going to talk about my situation,” he told Sky Sports after his match-winning contribution. 'I'm not going to go into details, but days like today are very special.
“Scoring goals, playing, winning games, being title races, they are special moments that will live with me forever and I am happy that I am part of it.”
Liverpool boss Arne Slot insisted that the headlines should be about the Arnold moment of Alexander instead of the future of his vice captain.
“The line should be about the goal he scored and not his contract. It would be ridiculous if someone argued about his dedication for this club – the work he did to come back and all those years he is here, nobody can argue his dedication to this club, “Slot said. “Let the headlines be over his big goal and not his contract situation.”
Alexander-Arnold returned to the Liverpool team for the first time in five weeks after storing an ankle injury in the Reds' Champions League defeat by Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool -fans were quickly speculating about the meaning of the wild celebration of the defender, with many encouraging the passionate view. A fan wrote on X: 'He will certainly remain. That celebration was something else '.
In the meantime, another wrote: “That is a response/celebration of Trent after scoring?!? '.
Another fan commented on the passion that Alexander-Arnold showed against the fans of the club.
They wrote: “He showed far too much passion for the fans of Liverpool for someone who wants to leave … he stays.”
Another fan easily wrote: “He can't leave us after this celebration.” Moreover, another stated: “He stays, he is no other option after that cell.”
In the meantime, Clinton Morrison, speaking on BBC 5 Live, suggested that Alexander-Arnold would not celebrate in such a way if he left Liverpool.
Morrison said: “If you leave a football club, I don't think you are celebrating like that.”
The International of England is heavily connected to Madrid throughout the future throughout his future, and the Spanish giants had rejected an £ 20 million bid for him in January.
And last month, Mail Sport reported that Madrid will be sure that he is organizing Alexander-Arnold free of charge this summer with sources in Spain that suggest that the move is 'completely set and ready'.
Alexander-Arnold has been in Liverpool since he joined their youth academy in 2004.
