Trent Alexander-Arnold is still widely anticipated to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2024/25 season, with his contract expiring in the summer.
Signs indicate that Real Madrid is positioning itself to capitalize on the situation, and reports suggest the right-back could make the move before the Club World Cup kicks off.
However, recent online speculation hints that Trent may be reconsidering his decision. Could there be a twist in the story? Might he choose to stay at Anfield?
While nothing has been confirmed, many still expect the Liverpool Academy graduate to move to Los Blancos this summer.
Yet, his recent public behavior — actively participating in title celebrations and showing no signs of distancing himself — has left the door slightly ajar.
As a proud Scouser who helped secure his boyhood club’s second Premier League title, it’s understandable that he remains emotionally attached.
Even if he is leaning toward a move to Spain, his pride in Liverpool’s achievements is unquestionable.
Did John Henry Discuss Trent’s Future?
After Liverpool’s 5-1 victory over Spurs, which clinched a record-tying 20th English league title, cameras caught Trent speaking with club owner John W. Henry. Some believe it was a private conversation about being transparent with fans regarding his future.
While no official statement has been made, it increasingly looks like Trent’s departure is likely.
According to Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele, the expectation remains that Trent will leave: “If Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves — and we still believe he will despite the recent speculation — Liverpool will need a new right-back.”
Although Conor Bradley has shown potential, concerns over his ability to stay fit and play consistently persist.
For now, fans may need to mentally prepare for Trent’s potential exit. However, with emotions high after another league title, there’s still a glimmer of hope that he might stay. Only time will tell.
