Trent Alexander-Arnold has offered a cryptic clue about his 2025 plans ahead of key contract negotiations at Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold is out of contract with Liverpool at the end of the current season and negotiations are underway for an extension.
Despite Arne Slot’s confidence in retaining the defender, the England international effectively has two options: sign a five-year renewal on Merseyside or accept a new challenge at Real Madrid.
The latest update indicates that Real Madrid are confident of formalizing the agreement in January, but all parties remain engaged in talks.
Alexander-Arnold made a rare public comment about his plans this weekend and no announcement regarding the saga is expected until early 2025.
“I’ve been at the club for 20 years, I’ve signed four or five contract extensions and none of them have been publicly disputed, and this one won’t be either,” he said in an interview with Sky Sports.
The situation appears to be finely balanced, with Liverpool also working on extensions for Mohamed Salah and captain Virgil van Dijk, but news on all three is unconfirmed at the moment.
