The future of Trent Alexander-Arnold stays in the air when he is approaching the end of his Liverpool contract and is connected to Real Madrid, but there is hope that the title celebrations of the club can change ideas
Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold was deeply seen in conversation with club head John Henry during the Premier-title celebrations of the team on Sunday in the midst of increasing doubt about his future. The Boyhood Reds Star will be a free agent this summer and is strongly linked to member of Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold has been a Liverpool player since the age of six and has won almost every big trophy that is possible with the club. That includes his second Premier League title after their 5-1 win over Tottenham this weekend, where many ask how he could look now to leave.
He was one of the three senior liverpool stars in a similar contract position this season, but Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk both decided to commit their future to Liverpool by signing extensions, giving him the same that Alexander-Arnold could do the same.
And there is now more hope of the fan base that are part of the title celebrations in Anfield on Sunday is sufficient motivation for the English international that something special can happen under Arne Slot.
That feeling will only grow after Alexander-Arnold was depicted with a chat with Liverpool owner Henry Pitchide while the club partyed at the end of their victory over Spurs to confirm their 20th top flight title.
The Reds won the crown with four games that save for jubilant fans, who were able to witness their parties – in contrast to in 2020 – and the conversation of Alexander -Arnold with Henry was seen for those anxiously looking supporters.
They will certainly hope that the American persuaded the 26-year-old to sign a new deal in the midst of calls to him to make a U-turn for his future.
Alexander-Arnold may have given the hope to do that, while he enjoyed the Liverpool title party and joined his teammates for a rendition of Youl Nody Alone, jumps on the back of teammate Ibrahima Konate and dances with Andy Robertson.
His teammate Cody Gakpo also hinted that the final decision about his future was not made, despite claims from a pre-agreement with Spanish giants real. Speaking after the game, the Dutchman said: “Now with Mo [Salah] and Virgil [Van Dijk] Staying, and hopefully also Trent, they can continue to build. “
Speaking after scoring the winner in Leicester last week, Alexander-Arnold remained cautious in his future in the long term: “I said the whole season that I am not going to talk about my situation. I am not going to go into the details.
“But days like today are always special. Scoring goals, playing games, winning games, winning titles – they are special moments for me and I am happy to do my part.”
The right back – which has characterized 351 times for the club – posted a video of himself later who sing along to Freed van Desire in the changing rooms with his teammates while fans of Liverpool filled social media with messages for him.
“You won't get this anywhere else, Trent,” they read. Another wrote: “Good luck for you. I hope you stay, but if not it was a great end to the story.”
“If Trent is involved in these celebrations with his boy's club and still wants to leave, I have no words,” a third said. One fan was much more confident and answered on the video of him that fourth with: “convinced that you are staying now”.
Sky Sports commentator Peter Drury asked a similar question live on comment: he said: “How could Trent consider walking away? The days for which he lived.”
The title celebrations also saw that Arne Slot embraces Chief Richard Hughes on the field – after the club made the two most important agreements last year that turned out to be crucial in their title Triumph.
