Trent Alexander-Arnold recently discussed his future with Liverpool after their 2-2 draw against Arsenal, calling it “an honour” to play for the club amid rumors linking him to Real Madrid.
The 26-year-old’s contract expires at the end of the season, and while Liverpool is negotiating a new deal, there have been no significant updates yet. This situation has reportedly caught the attention of Real Madrid, who could target him next summer if he becomes a free agent.
Regarded as one of the top right-backs globally, Alexander-Arnold is integral to Arne Slot’s Liverpool squad, having participated in every Premier League match this season. Slot is unlikely to want to lose him.
In an interview with beIN Sports, Alexander-Arnold reflected on his deep connection to Liverpool, stating, “It’s the same as what I felt when I was six and first pulled the shirt on – it means everything. It’s a privilege, it’s an honour… I don’t take that for granted.” With over 300 appearances for the first team, he expressed pride in representing his boyhood club, acknowledging both the triumphs and challenges of his career.
His remarks suggest he is inclined to remain at Liverpool, though Real Madrid’s interest leaves his future open to speculation.
