Trent Alexander-Arnold has two key conditions for extending his contract with Liverpool as he remains linked with a transfer to Real Madrid.
The England defender is entering the final six months of his current deal and has shown no clear intention to renew, with reports suggesting he is interested in a move to the Spanish giants.
Alexander-Arnold has been one of Liverpool’s standout players this season, contributing significantly to their success in the Premier League and the Champions League group stage.
Amid growing concerns over his long-term future, along with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation is under scrutiny.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the player is not looking for a mid-season move but would be open to extending his stay at Anfield under certain conditions. These include a minimum three-year contract and the eventual promise of becoming the club’s captain.
Jacobs also suggests that talks surrounding Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk might be interconnected, with Alexander-Arnold potentially becoming the captain impacting Van Dijk’s future.
While Liverpool is reportedly more confident about securing long-term deals for Van Dijk and Salah, Alexander-Arnold’s situation remains uncertain.
Liverpool could meet these demands, and offering him both a long-term contract and the captaincy could be the key to keeping him at the club, especially with his caliber as a player. Losing him to a club like Real Madrid would be a major blow, so it would be wise for Liverpool to act quickly. Additionally, Luis Diaz has also been linked to a move to La Liga.
