Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly laying out two major conditions for committing to a new contract with Liverpool, according to talkSPORT.
The first is a minimum three-year deal, which would keep him at Anfield until the summer of 2028. The second is a guarantee that he will eventually inherit the captain’s armband, a position that could become available if Virgil van Dijk decides not to renew hos contract.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are closely monitoring the situation, expressing confidence in their ability to secure Alexander-Arnold’s services. The Spanish club is reportedly willing to offer a lucrative wage package and the chance to play alongside his England teammate Jude Bellingham.
Liverpool have thus far rejected Real Madrid’s overtures, declaring the 26-year-old defender is unavailable to transfer this month. However, with his contract situation unresolved, the club faces mounting pressure to strike a deal with the player, who has been instrumental to their success since breaking into the first team.
In the midst of these developments, Arne Slot’s Liverpool side are preparing for a crucial Premier League clash against Manchester united on January 5, hoping to compound their rivals’ struggles.
