Trent Alexander-Arnold Close to New Liverpool Deal Amid Teammate’s Playful Hint
Diogo Jota has sparked renewed optimism among Liverpool fans about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential contract renewal, despite ongoing rumors linking the star right-back to Real Madrid.
With Alexander-Arnold’s current deal set to expire next summer, concerns over his future have been growing. However, Jota’s lighthearted comment during a Sky Sports interview has reignited hope of an extension.
When asked what Christmas gift he would give Alexander-Arnold, Jota jokingly replied, “Paper and a pen, so he can sign his new contract,” while flashing a smile. The playful remark has left fans speculating that a new deal for Trent might be in the works.

The fan response has been filled with excitement, with many interpreting Jota’s joke as a sign that talks are already underway.
One fan tweeted: “Is it crazy to think Jota wouldn’t joke about Trent’s contract unless something was in the works?” Another added: “Can we really expect a Trent extension as a Christmas surprise?” The buzz continued with another fan saying: “Diogo is all of us right now. Come on, Trent!”
Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold’s own comments have fueled speculation. On the Men in Blazers podcast, the 26-year-old spoke about his ambitions and desire to leave a legacy at Liverpool. “Winning more trophies is the goal, but personally, it’s about building a legacy. In 10-15 years, if I’m regarded as one of the best right-backs, or the best, that’s what drives me now,” he said.
Despite the continued links to Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold reaffirmed his strong connection to Liverpool. “As someone born here, I feel the emotions of the game more.
I have people around me who love the club, so I probably see it more than others,” he explained, suggesting that his bond with Anfield remains as strong as ever.
While Alexander-Arnold’s future at Liverpool looks more secure, questions remain over the contracts of other key players, such as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have yet to finalize new deals. Fans are hoping Jota’s playful comment signals positive developments on the horizon.
