Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a constant presence in that position at Anfield. However, the contract of the English right-back will expire in the summer of 2025, and Real Madrid are the ones who are looking to sign him for free in the transfer window. Football Insider reports that the Reds are still optimistic about retaining Arnold.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract expires in the summer of 2025
He has been one of the best players in the club and a regular member of the first team. Arnold was also set to become the captain of the team in the future. So, if the Reds go on to lose him for free, it will be a huge setback for the club. So, fans need to wait and see what happens with the player’s contract.
He is a world-class player and not just an out-and-out right-back. Arnold is an attacking fullback and has a great quality of breaking opposition defences with long-range passing. Arnold is pacey and covers the whole flank with his attacking traits. He has been instrumental in Liverpool’s attack through the right flank.
Therefore, Liverpool will struggle to find the same profile for that position if he leaves the club. Everyone is waiting to see if Los Blancos could go on to sign him for free in the summer transfer window of 2025. Arne Slot’s side have still not come to terms with a new contract with the player.
Can Liverpool stop him from leaving?
Madrid will definitely be optimistic about landing the Englishman. It will be a stunning deal if they manage to get a player like him for free. Los Blancos don’t have a worthy replacement for Dani Carvajal, who is already at the fag end of his career. Arnold will be the best possible replacement for the Spaniard.
Besides Arnold, Vigil van Dijk’s and Mohamed Salah’s contracts also expire in the summer of 2025. Hence, the Reds have to renew the contracts of these three players if they need to stop the trio from leaving for free in the summer.
The Anfield side are at the top of the table in the Premier League and also the UEFA Champions League. They are expected to fight for more trophies in the future. Hence, Slot’s side will do all they can to secure the future of their star players and continue to progress.
