Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold moved back to the center for Arne Slot in their 1-0 Premier League victory in Leicester City.
The victory on the road in the King Power Stadium confirmed the Foxes immediate relegation back to the EFL championship and brought Liverpool within three points after sealing the EPL title.
The charges of Slot had difficulty finding a way along their chased hosts for most of the game until he threw his recurring right back into the final phase.
Alexander-Arnold has been out of the headlines in recent weeks due to an injury, but he has had a huge impact on his return.
Questions about his future remain in the spirit of Slot after the extensions of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
Alexander-Arnold is now confronted with a rapidly approaching decision about the fact that he has to extend his own expiring contract after June or accepts the five-year-old deal to join Real Madrid as a free agent this summer.
The 26-year-old avoiding questions about his plans after the victory in Leicester while the Saga continues.
“I said the whole season that I am not going to talk about my situation. I am not going into the details,” according to reports from Sky Sports, via BBC Sport.
That point was supported by his manager who claimed that there was never a concern about the dedication of his No. 66 to the case during the rumors of the swirling exit.
“It would be ridiculous for everyone to question this club,” said Slot full -time.
“All headlines should be about Trent tomorrow, his goal and all the incredible moments he has brought to this football club over the years.”
No update is expected from both sides until Liverpool himself has confirmed 100% as Premier League champions who will come next weekend when they win at Tottenham at home.
