Fans of Liverpool receive a shocking morning update from Fabrizio Romano.

It is now believed that Real Madrid is “monitoring” Trent Alexander-Arnold due to his unresolved Liverpool contract problem.

The relevant information was posted by Fabrizio Romano on X, formerly Twitter. The fullback’s current contract is scheduled to end in the summer of 2025.

Although the player’s mental state is still unknown, the Merseysiders are unwilling to part with their vice captain.

This summer, is Trent Alexander-Arnold going to be sold?

Nothing in football is guaranteed, of course, but we don’t think there’s a possibility in hell that our No. 66 will swap Liverpool red for Madrid white.

Now that the club has separated the two key positions of sports director (in Richard Hughes) and CEO of football (in Michael Edwards) with FSG, the 25-year-old’s problem should be settled soon Though the latter’s most essential assignment before formally joining the club on June 1 will be obtaining the services of Jurgen Klopp’s replacement.

Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, Trent, and others need to have new contracts arranged as the next top priority.

Liverpool wanted the UEFA Champions League draw, exactly as they got it.

The outcome of the UEFA Champions League draw will delight Liverpool. That ought to benefit the Reds.

Indeed, it is true that Liverpool was left out of the UEFA Champions League draw, but that is sort of the idea. The Reds were aware of Atalanta, their quarterfinal opponent in the UEFA Europa League, but they will have been closely monitoring the elite league.

Liverpool’s season was impacted by the draw, even if they aren’t vying for that specific title. But Arsenal and Manchester City, their two challengers for the title, certainly are.

In their quarterfinal matchup, Arsenal faced Bayern Munich, and City faced Real Madrid once more. Two enormous ties, and two very challenging ones.

Liverpool will have been pleased with their outcome because of this.

THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW AND LIVERPOOL 

Given the outcome of the draw, Arsenal and City will devote all of their attention on the two legs. Given that each team is up against a real challenger for the trophy, neither can afford to let up, much less shuffle their squad.

And that causes them to have issues in the Premier League. For example, Arsenal’s matchup with Bayern Munich is against Aston Villa, who are currently in fourth place. It is going to be a nightmare leading their squad for all three.

In between their Real Madrid matches, City plays Luton Town, a match they should win even if they have a subpar team. However, they go to play Tottenham Hotspur in one of their most challenging remaining matchups, three days after the second leg.

Therefore, neither team’s circumstances in the Premier League are “ideal.” If each had faced virtually any other opponent, the situation might have seemed very different. If Liverpool had been drawn together, it is the only way things could have turned out better.

The difference is that Jurgen Klopp will surely give the Premier League more importance than the Europa League, even if the Reds still have a tough assignment ahead of them—beating Atalanta.

Title opponents of Liverpool won’t; instead, they’ll attempt to maintain equilibrium. And that might well result in the mistakes that everyone was seeking to avoid.
