Despite speculations suggesting a potential departure from Anfield in the upcoming transfer windows, Trent Alexander-Arnold has agreed to extend his contract with Liverpool. Football Insider has reported that Liverpool and Alexander-Arnold have come to an agreement in principle to prolong his contract, set to expire in two years.
Top clubs, including Real Madrid, have shown interest in the English defender. However, he appears committed to staying at Anfield for the foreseeable future. Following the exits of James Milner and Jordan Henderson, Alexander-Arnold has been named the team’s second captain. Sources suggest the 24-year-old is aiming to play a pivotal role in the team’s campaign for the Champions League title. He currently commands a wage of no less than £200,000 per week at Liverpool, as stated by FBRef. It’s anticipated that the contract extension will run for an additional two years, taking it up to the summer of 2027.
In other news, Liverpool might face a significant loss with Mohamed Salah attracting intense interest from Saudi club, Al-Ittihad. On the final day of the summer transfer window, they tabled an offer of €250 million for the Egyptian star, which Liverpool declined. Nonetheless, Al-Ittihad’s management has hinted at returning with an even more lucrative proposal this winter. Reports from Fichajes indicate that Liverpool is preparing for Salah’s potential departure, identifying West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen as a suitable replacement.
