What senior figures at Liverpool now believe about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation
- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has been in remarkable form for England over the international break, handed a new licence under interim coach Lee Carsley.
Alexander-Arnold🅷 played the full 180 minutes in the 2-0 victories against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, opposition England should be beating.
But across the two games it was the Liverpool defender who arguably impressed the most.
ꦛAlthough he has 31 caps for his country, it’s been remarkable that Alexander-Arnold hasn’t been a firm starter for England to date, which should now change.
🌃That being said, aside from the Alexander-Arnold and England debate, the Liverpool defender’s contract is currently set to expire after the season – a big concern for fans on Merseyside.
However, TBR Football💙 understands that Liverpool’s hierarchy remain confident over agreeing a new deal for Alexander-Arnold.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was stalling contract talks to test life under Arne Slot first
🔯Liverpool won’t have an issue agreeing the broad outline of a deal with Alexander-Arnold, a five-year contract is on the table which would see the defender earn more than £300k-a-week.
🍒That deal would put Alexander-Arnold on similar terms to those that Mohamed Salah currently enjoys at Anfield.

൩The new contract would also make the Liverpool defender the highest earning Englishman in the Premier League, should he sign the new deal.
🅷As of now, Alexander-Arnold will be allowed to talk terms and sign a pre-contract from January – but Liverpool are working hard to make sure he signs a new deal before that point.
💜Alexander-Arnold is enjoying life under Slot and that fact has given Liverpool real hope that he will commit to a new deal.
🌼One reason that the England defender had waited on a new deal was because he wanted to experience life under his new boss first.
Liverpool working on four new contracts
🐻As well as Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool are also continuing talks with Luis Diaz and expect his extension to be agreed before the New Year.
🗹The club are also in discussions with Virgil van Dijk and Salah, but Alexander-Arnold’s deal is considered the immediate priority by the club.
🐭Of course, it’s understandable that Liverpool are so keen to tie the defender to a new long-term deal, who is looking better than ever now fully fit this season.
Gary Neville has been stunned by Alexander-Arnold𒊎 behind the scenes recently, celebrating another side to the Liverpool star’s game.
And although Slot was frustrated with Alexander-Arnoldꦍ in one or two moments against Manchester United, it’s evident that the duo could achieve so much together.
