In the summer of 2025, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract with Liverpool expires.
Following Arne Slot’s hiring as the Reds’ new head coach, Trent Alexander-Arnold appears to have made a subliminal indication regarding his future at Liverpool.
Real Madrid is apparently showing interest in the vice captain of Liverpool, whose contract expires in the summer of 2025. However, as sporting director Richard Hughes, FSG CEO of Football Michael Edwards, and Slot formally began their new positions on June 1st, the 25-year-old has been forced to wait for any kind of future resolution.
Being a lifelong Reds supporter, it would come as a shock if Alexander-Arnold ended his Anfield career. But as he approaches the last year of his current deal, questions about his future continue.
Secure a new deal for the right-back from Liverpool is likely to be one of Hughes’ first priorities; the Reds will undoubtedly detest the thought of Alexander-Arnold leaving on a free transfer in a year.
Although the player has clearly committed his future to the team for at least another year, they may still try to cash in on him this summer if an extension seems improbable.
He said on the club website, “It was a good season, built on last season, got better as a team, challenged for the title, took it far and we improved.”
“Any improvement indicates that the season is going well. Consider the good things, go on, and maybe see you next season.”
Following their victory against Chelsea at Wembley in February, the Reds won the League Cup in his first season as vice captain of Liverpool. But the defender would be out of the game due to injury.
When he returned, Liverpool’s season had begun to wane as they had lost out on qualifying for the FA Cup and Europa League and had run out of steam in their pursuit of the Premier League crown.
Yet, having claimed that Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign with the club was a ‘good season’, Alexander-Arnold is definitely ready to push on again under Slot in 2024/25.
In the week leading up to his own contract expiring in the summer of 2020, Mohamed Salah openly pledged his future to Liverpool for an additional season, joining the England international as the only player to do so.
Slot said on social media after being officially named the Reds’ new head coach: “We know that trophies are what count and we will do everything possible to make that happen next season.” We will battle like crazy because our fans deserve it.
Even though these disclosures don’t provide much comfort about Salah and Alexander-Arnold’s prospects after their current contracts expire, it seems certain that Slot will use both players during his first year as Liverpool’s manager.
