One way or another, it won’t be long before we get a clear answer on whether Trent Alexander-Arnold will remain a Liverpool player next season.
The Reds’ vice-captain, who came off the bench to net the match-winner against Leicester on Sunday, is nearing the final two months of his contract at Anfield.
Speculation is mounting that he could depart on a free transfer to Real Madrid in the near future.
Despite his heroics, Trent remained tight-lipped about his future in a post-match interview with Sky Sports.
However, Gary Neville has urged him to settle the uncertainty soon—ideally before Liverpool seals what looks like an inevitable Premier League title.
Trent may be close to announcing his decision
A new report from Football Insider suggests that the 26-year-old could be ready to make a decision public.
Sources claim the Liverpool right-back is expected to reveal “soon” whether he’ll leave for Madrid this summer.
Real Madrid reportedly feel confident they’ve already secured an agreement with Trent after months of rumors surrounding his potential move.
Still, there’s hope for clarity either way
While Trent’s jubilant goal celebration hinted at how much the club still means to him, it may well have been a fond farewell rather than a statement of commitment—more a heartfelt goodbye than a dramatic “I’m not leaving” declaration.
With new contracts already wrapped up for Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk, Trent remains the biggest unresolved contract issue at Liverpool. Ideally, his future will be sorted before title celebrations take center stage.
If he does announce a move to Madrid, it will sting for fans, especially given he’s a local hero. But at the very least, it would offer closure to the drawn-out saga.
On the other hand, should he shock everyone by deciding to stay, it would add another incredible chapter to an already unforgettable season.
While that outcome seems unlikely, what’s most important now is getting a definitive answer—so this lingering uncertainty doesn’t cast a shadow over the campaign’s final stretch.
