Commitment to Liverpool
Trent Alexander-Arnold has expressed his desire to stay with Liverpool for the upcoming season, despite interest from Real Madrid. The 25-year-old defender, whose contract expires next summer, appears set to continue his career at Anfield rather than move to Spain.
Excitement Under New Management
Alexander-Arnold is looking forward to playing under new manager Arne Slot, marking the first time he will be coached by someone other than Jürgen Klopp in his senior career. According to The Sun, he has already held positive talks with Slot and is excited about the new chapter at Liverpool.
Liverpool’s Efforts to Retain Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool is eager to secure Alexander-Arnold’s future at the club with a lucrative new contract. A source quoted by The Sun highlighted the club’s admiration for the defender, stating, “Everyone at the club has huge admiration for Trent and will be doing whatever it takes to keep him. He’s still got so much more to give.”
Extended Holiday and Pre-Season Absence
Alexander-Arnold has been granted an extended holiday after helping England reach the Euro 2024 final. As a result, he has been left out of Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the USA. His break will last three weeks, meaning he will likely return in August. Consequently, he will miss friendlies against Real Betis, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Sevilla before the season opener against Ipswich at Portman Road.
Looking Forward to the New Season
Despite the interest from Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold is focused on the new season with Liverpool. He views this period as a fresh start and is committed to contributing to the team’s success under Arne Slot.
