Liverpool is sure that Trent Alexander-Arnold will sign a new deal, which will make Jude Bellingham sad.
Alexander-Arnold’s future at Liverpool has been talked about a lot this summer. His present contract ends next summer, so he could leave for free in less than a year.
Real Madrid was interested in signing him, and talkSPORT was told that Bellingham was especially eager to get back together with the England star. The two are close friends and are often unable to be separated when playing for their country.
Meanwhile, talkSPORT has learned that Liverpool is sure Alexander-Arnold will sign a new deal at Anfield, putting an end to rumors that he will leave the club.
After coming up through the Reds’ school, the right back has spent his whole career with the team.
The 25-year-old has played 310 senior games for Liverpool, hitting 19 goals and setting up an amazing 81 others.
Since then, he has become one of the best right backs in the world. Real Madrid is now looking for a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal, who is 32 years old.
Alexander-Arnold, on the other hand, seems likely to sign with Liverpool and stay on Merseyside, so they might have to look elsewhere.
This season has already seen a big change at Liverpool: Arne Slot took over for Jurgen Klopp.
The charismatic coach was replaced by the Dutch coach, who was chosen because he likes to attack and is ready to move forward.
In Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah, three important players have been mentioned with moves away. This has made things tough for him.
Next year, Van Dijk and Salah’s contracts will also end, and if they don’t renew, they could leave for free.
Both players, but especially Salah, have been linked with moves to Saudi Arabia. However, Alexander-Arnold is said to have already talked to Slot about what the future holds.
He was already vice captain of the team after Jordan Henderson left last summer, and if Van Dijk’s situation changes, he could be made captain.
On Saturday night, Liverpool plays a match against Real Betis. However, Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk will not be there because they were given extra time off after Euro 2024.
They play their first game in the Premier League against newbies Ipswich Town on August 17, live on talkSPORT.
