What Liverpool staff are convinced Trent Alexander-Arnold will do after interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona
- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
Liverpool have made a quick start to life under newly appointed manager Arne Slot, who took over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
Liverpool have won six of their opening seven Premier League games and reside at the summit, one point clear of Manchester City and Arsenal.
Despite speculation around many of their first-teamers, Arne Slot has been able to harness a winning culture at Liverpool and now it appears he’s managed to convince a key star to renew his contract, thus ending speculation of an exit next year.
Liverpool convinced Trent Alexander-Arnold will renew his contract
TBR Football understands Liverpool are determined to tie down Trent Alexander-Arnold and talks have been continuing with his camp in recent weeks.
We previously revealed that Real Madrid are interested in Alexander-Arnold and now some of Europe’s biggest clubs have joined them in the race for his signature.
But, Liverpool sources have confirmed to us that they are highly confident that the 26-year-old will put pen to paper before Christmas on his new deal.
Liverpool have offered him the largest contract they have ever made to a homegrown player, indeed it would put him on par with Mo Salah and make him the highest-paid English player in the Premier League.
Alexander-Arnold impressed by Slot’s style of play
TBR Football further understands that Alexander-Arnold told Liverpool that he wanted to wait until the opening months of the season to experience life under Arne Slot before deciding on his future.
Now, it’s understood that Alexander-Arnold is a fan of Slot’s style and has been impressed with how he has quickly taken control of the squad.
Real Madrid are continuing to monitor the situation and we can also reveal that European powerhouses Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have also made enquiries and are ready to make offers – if indeed Alexander-Arnold decides his future lies away from Anfield.
A telling few weeks lie ahead on Merseyside.
