Trent Alexander-Arnold has made a lot of headlines in recent months as his Liverpool contract ticks towards its expiration.

Alexander-Arnold’s deal is up at the end of the season, and many are concern🦋ed that the defender is going to leave Liverpool.

Alexander-Arnold has been༒ stronꦺgly linked to Real Madrid, and his high-profile 🌟friendship with Jude Bellingham is only adding fuel to that fire.

Mohameꦍd Salah and Virgil van Dijk are in the same boat, but their contract situati💝ons are seemingly much more positive.

Indeed, Salah’s contract talks are going well, while Liverpool a💎re confident that Van Dijk will sign a new deal.

Meanwhile, we haven’t heard all that many updates on Alexander-Arnold’s contract, and, in this case, silence🎐 may not be golden.

However, speaking to , the defender has now touched on his Liverpool contract, and he says that no matter what 🥀happens, the﷽se negotiations definitely won’t be played out publicly.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will keep contract talks private

The full-back spoke about his Liverpool contract 🌃and negotiations with the club.

The defender says that every single time he’s signed a new deal, the negotiations have been private, and this scenario w😼on’t be played out in public either.

The Englanꦯd star says that he won’t give away any clues on his status at Liverpool, and he kept h🐭is cards very close to his chest here.

“I have been at the club 20 years now, I have signed four or five contract extensions a🎉nd none of those have been played out in public – and this one won’t be either,” Alexander-Arnold said.

How could Liverpool replace Trent Alexander-Arnold?

Alexander-Arnold’s comments here aren’t going to alleviate any of the concerns Liverpool fans have about the defender lཧeaving to join Rea♏l Madrid.

That said, if Alexander-Arnold does leave the club, Liverpool🔜 do ha��ve some replacements in mind.

Jeremieꩲ Frimpong has been strongly linked to Liverpool recently, and that൲ is an intriguing idea to say the least.

Meanwhile, young Porto defender, Martim Fernandes is on Liverpool’s radar too.

🔴Fernandes and Frimpong’s stats in an attacking sense are certainly comparabl🅠e to Alexander-Arnold’s.

Conor Bradley may also play a part in Liverpool’s succession plan here. After all, Bradley has earned huge praise for his performances this season.

As Alexander-Arnold says, this situation won’t be played out publicly, so there’s no saying if he will leave or if he will stay yet, but the fact that a new deal is yet to be signed is only going to add to the speculation around this 🐽situation.
