Trent Alexander-Arnold has not provided an update on talks over extending his contract with Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold ends his contract with the Premier League leaders at the end of the current season and negotiations for a renewal are ongoing.
Reds manager Arne Slot has previously expressed confidence in retaining the defender, but the England star has two options: sign a five-year renewal on Merseyside or accept a new challenge at Real Madrid.
Reports in recent days have indicated that a decision has been made and Alexander-Arnold informed Liverpool of his decision to leave.
However, the soap opera saga has continued to move forward, with reports from the United Kingdom dismissing that update, despite rumors in Spain indicating that the deal is 90% closed.
Liverpool closed out 2024 with a dominant 5-0 Premier League victory over West Ham United to open an eight-point lead at the top of the table.
Alexander-Arnold scored a long-range missile at the London Stadium, and Slot claimed his goal celebration, mimicking rumors about him, shows where his head is at.
“The way he celebrated his goal should say enough,” he said at the end of the match.
