Trent Alexander-Arnold hints at potential contract extension with Liverpool

Trent Alexander-Arnold appears inclined to remain at Anfield, rejecting interest from Real Madrid. The 26-year-old defender praised the work of new manager Arne Slot and expressed confidence in Liverpool's success under his guidance.

Details. In a recent interview with Sky Sports News, Alexander-Arnold's comments offered hope to Reds fans about his future at the club.

"From day one, I knew I would enjoy playing under Arne. I feel like I can improve my skills and learn a lot. He’s a true football fan, and his attention to detail is just incredible.

If you told us this at the beginning of the season, we’d have been very happy. We’re in a great position, especially in the Premier League. In the Champions League, everything will come down to the playoffs. We need to stay consistent over the next few months to give ourselves the best chance of success."

"I’ve been at the club for 20 years; I’ve signed four or five contract extensions, and none of them played out in public — this one won’t either," the defender added.
