Liverpool legend claims Trent Alexander-Arnold is reconsidering his future

Liverpool are not giving up in their battle to keep Trent Alexander-Arnold away from Real Madrid in 2025.

The Premier League leaders remain in talks with the England international as his contract enters the final six months in January.

He will be eligible for a free transfer in June if he does not reach an agreement to extend his current deal at Anfield.

The 26-year-old is effectively stuck between two options: sign a five-year extension on Merseyside, or accept a new challenge in Madrid.

Conflicting reports from Britain and Spain have contradicted each other about his plans, with no final decision made.

Ahead of a possible update before the end of 2025, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has given his view on the situation, and he believes the balance is back in Liverpool's favour.

“Alexander Arnold will be forced to sign a new contract. I think the reaction to him will be different than to Salah. I think he will receive a lot more criticism because he is a local player,” said Diario AS.

“I think he will worry about that if he goes to Real Madrid for free, for example.”

No official confirmation on the situation is expected until at least the end of December.
