Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has recently been linked to Real Madrid. Currently, he has a contract with Liverpool until 2025, but discussions for an extension have not yet taken place, leading to speculation about his future.
It will be crucial for Liverpool to secure him with a long-term deal. The 25-year-old has just reached 100 goal contributions in the Premier League, making him an essential player for the team.
Losing someone of his caliber would be a significant blow, especially as he enters the prime of his career and continues to improve.
Regarding his future, Alexander-Arnold has expressed his ambition to captain the club, although he indicated that any contract negotiations will remain private. He also emphasized his desire for consistent success and trophies.
“I’ve always said that I aspire to captain the club; it’s a personal goal of mine, but ultimately, it’s not in my control,” Alexander-Arnold told the Liverpool Echo.
“I’ve been with the club for 20 years and have signed multiple contract extensions, none of which have been public affairs. This one will be no different.”
“I want to be a Liverpool player this season at the very least. Winning trophies is the most important thing to me,” he added.
“I’m highly motivated by success and the desire to be elite. That drive to win is what truly fuels me.”
Liverpool will need to demonstrate their ambitions to persuade Alexander-Arnold to commit to a long-term deal. His desire to captain the club in the future is a significant positive for the Reds, indicating that he is open to a long-term stay.
