The saga of Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future in club football could be due a transfer twist.
The Scouser remains locked in reported talks with the Anfield-based outfit over the possibility of extending a contract currently due to expire in 2025.
It’s a far from favourable situation for the 26-year-old or his club. Nonetheless, some reports suggest there are reasons for fans of a Red persuasion to be optimistic.
The defender has allegedly been left impressed by what he’s seen from new boss Arne Slot so far and is ready to reject an offer from Real Madrid in favour of extending his stay at L4.

There is yet further good news for Liverpool Football Club with it having also emerged that well-regarded right-back Jeremie Frimpong is ‘open’ to a move to the La Liga giants.
It’s an update that could yet prompt Los Blancos into concentrating their efforts on landing the Dutch star’s signature. However, one Bundesliga insider has made it clear that Carlo Ancelotti’s men have yet to highlight the Leverkusen star as a concrete target.
“Jeremie Frimpong has a release clause of about €40m, so he’s absolutely affordable,” Christian Falk informed CaughtOffside in his latest Fact Files column.
“Manchester United were previously far ahead in talks for Frimpong but in the end, they decided to pursue Mazraoui instead. It’s still a lot of money for a right-back but Bayer Leverkusen ultimately can’t do anything if a club is willing to pay this fee.
“So, he would be open to a club like Real Madrid coming in for him. At the moment, however, we heard that it’s not a seriously concrete option. Of course, he’s a good player and he’s doing very well at Leverkusen, so he’d be an option for any top club searching in this position.”
There’s no denying it’s a potentially less complicated affair to wade into as opposed to the reality…
